Affinity Groups at UUCB

Senior’s Salon

Seniors’ Salon is an open discussion group for seniors. (We hope to start back up in November)  It meets in a conference room in Fraiser Meadows on the second Tuesday of each month.  There is no lower-age attendance criteria; members simply self-select.  Existing members declare that “The purpose and mission of the UUCB Seniors’ Salon is to openly, respectfully and lovingly share among ourselves relevant stories and information about facing and thriving in the later stages of life.”

Currently Seniors’ Salon is meeting via Zoom on Wednesdays at 10am. (See the most recent Messenger for the link)  It is very informal, with a chalice lighting and reading thrown in, just to remind us we are UUs. Contact Barb Richards barbarajrichards@att.net or Fred Cole: fcole@att.net to get involved.

Wise Elders

The Wise Elders group (typically ages 65 and up) meets quarterly for a potluck lunch at the church. The gatherings are organized by the Caring Ministry Team and include fellowship, good food, and a speaker.

Circle Suppers

These social events with food are held in church members’ homes to foster community and connection. Circle Suppers (planned potlucks) are on the first Saturday night of the month. There are announcements in the Newsletter for sign-ups for these events.  Contact Dianne Ewing for details about upcoming events or to volunteer to host. dianne@ewingdev.com

Men’s Fellowship Group

This men’s fellowship group meets monthly in members’ homes for a social hour, potluck, and sharing of lives. This group also sponsors an annual retreat (usually in the mountains) and other events such as UUCB’s annual Homecoming Barbecue in the fall. Contact John Cuddington johncudd814@gmail.com or Michael King michaelking.boulder@gmail.com  to get involved!

Women’s Book Group

The Women’s Book Group meets on the second Friday of the month at 1:30 at UUCB to talk about the selected book. Nicknamed “FAB” or Friday afternoon book club, we try to read books written by women, or about women. 

For future planning, the October 8 book is “Bless Me Ultima” by Rudolfo Anaya; November 12 is “The Four Winds” by Kristin Hannah, and December 10 is “See No Stranger,” by Valerie Kaur. For questions, contact Laurie Mazzola at owlangel57@yahoo.com.

Women’s Spirituality Circle

The Women’s Spirituality Circle meets on the first Wednesday of each month at UUCB from 7 to 9 p.m. to explore different aspects of feminine spirituality. Contact Debbie Davies for specifics debdavies47@msn.com

Fiber Arts

Do you crochet, knit, sew, felt or do really anything with fiber?  Join us to show what you’re working on and chat about life.  Currently meeting via zoom on Thursdays in the evening.  Contact Laura Beard lbeard60007@yahoo.com to find out details.

…And More

Other groups often form around interests like birding, bridge playing, and poetry. New groups become active when there is enough interest in the congregation. To start a new social group or activity, contact our Membership Coordinator with your idea.
