General Information: Covenant Groups
Covenant Groups are small, facilitated groups of people (ideally 10 maximum), whose goal is to provide a sense of intimacy and community. The groups offer a place for spiritual exploration and growth, in an environment where people are encouraged and supported in the sharing of stories, experiences, ideas, and feelings.
Covenant Groups are also encouraged to commit themselves to reaching out to the church and community through volunteerism. Covenant Groups can be general in focus, choosing a varied discussion topic for each meeting, or specific in direction, such as a group focused on Buddhism or creative writing. The possibilities are limited only by our creativity and interests.
Current Adult Religious Education Opportunities
Sustainability Covenant Group
We are a group of motivated persons concerned about the twin crises of resource depletion (especially "peak oil") and climate change, and what these crises could mean for our and our children's futures. We come together monthly in a supportive environment to:
Gain a better understanding of how our world is changing irreversibly;
Discuss constructive ways to contribute - both as individuals and as a community - toward preserving the systems essential to all life on earth, and toward the development of a culture of sustainability and equity for all; and
Consider how we and our loved ones can enjoy a good and abundant way of life - even in an uncertain future dominated by increasing resource scarcity and the looming effects of global warming/climate change.
We welcome all PCUUC members and friends to attend our meetings and to participate in our special projects and events.
Prairie Women's Covenant Group
Discussions are varied and include such topics as the feminine divine, family relationships, and personal growth. New members are welcome to join at any time.
Meets twice each month on Mondays at a member's home, 7-9 PM.
