First Sunday Lunch
On the first Sunday of each month (unless otherwise announced) we sit down to a potluck lunch after the service. First-time visitors are our special guests. The rest of us bring a dish to share (or pay a few dollars, but we prefer that you bring food). Please join us and please sign up to help the kitchen committee, which sponsors this event, to clean up afterward.
Cottage Suppers = Good Company! Good Food!
Cottage Suppers are a great opportunity for members/friends (especially new ones!) to get to know more fine folks in our congregation.
Here's the way it works. You will sign up at the host home you wish to attend. The host provides hors d'oeuvres and drinks, and attendees bring the rest of the meal. When your host calls you, ask what you may bring. Sign up in the Social Activities Notebook on the side table in the sanctuary. This is a great way to get to know others in our congregation, and to share a delicious meal. We especially want to invite newcomers and visitors.
Hikers! If you're interested in a hiking group, please sign up in the
Social Activities Notebook again. The original sign-up sheet was misplaced. For further information, please contact Susan Putnam.
Women's Night Out; Men's Night Out
Women, are you looking for a way to socialize with other UUs, but just can't find the time to organize something? Well the Spiritual and Ethical Enrichment Committee has done the organizing for you. All women are invited to get together for dinner and girl talk on the second Wednesday. Child care will be provided from 6:30 until 8:30 at the church. Please meet at 6:30 , and after the kids are settled in, we will carpool to a nearby restaurant. To make sure we have adequate childcare, please sign up in the Social Activities notebook located on the back table of the sanctuary or RSVP to childcare coordinator Melissa Hamley, childcare@uucbham.org.
Men, we aren't trying to keep you from having your own fun, so feel free to meet up at the church at 6:30 too and head off to a restaurant of your own choice.
