GROUPS & MEMBERSHIP
Much of the activity at San Gabriel Unitarian Universalist Fellowship happens outside of our Sunday Services. All are invited to participate in any of these activities or groups to continue their journey on the search for truth and meaning, or just to join in fellowship and fun.
AFFINITY GROUPS
From book clubs and discussion groups, to more spiritual practices, there are a multitude of ways for you to find connections with others. If you can’t find what you are looking for, then maybe you need to start a group or activity of your own!
AFFINITY GROUPS
Building Community One Group At A Time
CONNECTION GROUPS
A Connection Group is an intentional, lay-led, small group, or sharing circle designed to deepen and expand your spiritual growth and connections within our Beloved Community.
​
-
It is small, meaning that its size is about 8 participants.
-
Its purpose is to build relationships and a sense of belonging.
-
It may serve as a kind of ministry, by offering one another emotional, physical and spiritual support, as needed.
-
It follows a set of relationship ground rules which includes ways of deep listening and speaking to each other with respect.
​
Meetings are typically held monthly, although some groups choose to meet twice monthly. The time and place is up to the group. Generally, a meeting may last about two (2) hours. A discussion guide is is provided. Each group has the flexibility to decide how best to meet their needs.
​
Every group needs a facilitator who becomes the contact person and who may also lead the group through the material provided each month. Some groups may decide that different members will lead the discussion. Again, each group decides how best to operate their meetings.
