Our Men's Group meets in the UUCB Library on the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m., with an option to join online via Zoom.

We support each other by listening to our stories. Each month we discuss an interesting topic. All are welcome: young or old, working or retired, gay or straight. Give us a try. We are a long-standing group that is always open to new members. Join our group email list.

A weekly Young Adult hangout where there's a different "Thing" every week. Work on your arts and crafts, discuss books and movies, play a game or just enjoy the company.

Recognizing the need for connection, pastoral care, and opportunities to be community, Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray and Dr. Stephanie Kimball will lead weekly gatherings for anyone who wants to check-in and just be in community. You are welcome to bring a sack lunch or snacks. 

Join with others to read and discuss Getting to Reparations: How Building a Different America Requires a Reckoning with our Past by Dorothy A. Brown, professor of law at Georgetown University and nationally recognized scholar in the areas of race, class, and tax policy. This is part of a community book read sponsored by the Bloomington Multi-Faith Alliance Faith for Racial Equity group. What can we learn and do together? Meets on Wednesdays, September 16, 30, October 14, 6:30 - 8:00pm. Facilitated by: Ruth Aydt, Chair of the Racial Justice Task Force. Register here.

The Heartland String Band, a part of our music program, was founded by Carol Marks in August of 2001, but because of Covid they have not been able to play together in a while. Sally McGuire has graciously agreed to revive this merry band. The band will practice from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month in Fellowship Hall (latecomers welcome). They play old-time and Celtic music as well as folks songs, and all lovers of this music are welcome. Dulcimers, fiddles, cellos, pennywhistles, guitars, banjos, mandolins, even accordions!

The primary purpose of the Mud and Lotus Collective is to offer a Buddhist-inspired path to recovery from addiction of all kinds. We gather together every week to do meditation, read from Buddhist recovery books, and have a discussion. Currently meeting at the UU Church of Bloomington on Thursdays at 6:30 pm. Open to all.

Choir exercises body, mind, and spirit. Enhances your vocal fluency and keeps your voice young and flexible. Engages deep listening. Improves posture and lung capacity. Calms and focuses the mind (you won't have time for any other worries during rehearsal). Gives you the best seat in the house for the children's moment. And occasionally puts you smack in the middle of a masterpiece!
