USH Book Club - Zoom
2025-11-13 14:30 - 16:00
The USH Book Club meets from 2:30 – 4 PM on the 2nd Thursday of each month, September through June, on Zoom. If you would like to participate in a discussion of the book and related issues, please contact Ginny Allen at fiddlenurse1@gmail.com. An email with the Zoom link will be sent to you several days before the meeting.

The goals of the USH Book Club are:

to foster communication and community, as do our other small church groups, and
to read fiction and non-fiction that represents a variety of styles, eras and genres.

Format:
We begin with a period of check-in. Each meeting has a designated leader who guides the discussion, initially giving each participant an opportunity to share his/her thoughts on the book. This is then followed by a full group discussion. We end each meeting with members sharing the titles of books, movies or TV shows that they would like to recommend to others.

Hands & Hearts Group - ON HOLD
2025-11-14 13:00 - 15:00
Welcome all Creative Spirits and Crafters to the new, weekly group ‘Hands & Hearts’ on Friday afternoons from 3-5pm in Murray. Many of us already know the kind of meditative solace and cadent creativity that working with your hands can offer. This group is an opportunity to talk, share, relate, and relax as we work on our projects together. Bring your knitting, crochet work, sewing, quilting, hooking, (any kind of handwork you enjoy), as well as your news, your thoughts, your worries, and whatever’s on your mind. There will always be available supplies in our ‘fiber library’ if you’d like to start a new project, or try something new. If you are not a crafter but would love the camaraderie and the chance to meet new friends, you are very welcome.

For more information, please contact Deana

"THE MIDS" - A social group for anyone in 20s, 30s, and 40s - Zoom
2025-11-14 20:00 - 21:00
“THE MIDS” – A social group for anyone in 20s, 30s, and 40s.

Hi everyone,

Last year, we inaugurated a 20s-30s-40s group that was given the clever name “The Mids”. Several of us met about once a month, sometimes at USH, and sometimes at fun events around town.

This summer – and fall – there has been something of a hiatus. There’s been a lot going on…

But we are rejuvenating it. After discussion with a few people, we thought the best thing might be to have a regular monthly Zoom AND in-person gatherings.

With that in mind, the first in person Zoom is THIS FRIDAY, November 14th, 8-9 pm. Link below.
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8602339897?omn=82140068353

Please feel free to drop in and say hi. We hope to have an informal in-person gathering at USH sometime around the Thanksgiving weekend, possibly involving nostalgic breakfast cereals…please drop in to the zoom or drop a note to Rev. Bob (minister@hartforduu.org) to let us know your availability. We’ll schedule it when the most people can be there.

Thanks, all! See you Friday!

Warm regards,
Rev. Bob

Join us at the next Meeting House Sing-Along. Fred Louis and Ed Savage are offering an opportunity to CT Singing families, singers, song-writers, and audience members to join in song on the third Saturday of each month from 2 to 5 PM. We will have song-sheets and some loaner copies of Rise Up Singing available. Bring your own ‘Rise Up Singing’ if you have one, as we have used it a lot in other months. We will also use the NEW “Rise Again” sequel – 1200 more songs to sample.
VAX protocol: OK to sing, socially spaced, if you are vaccinated AND boosted; even so, if anyone is uncomfortable about singing unmasked, we should ALL wear masks. Please feel free to express your caution about COVID contagion by contacting Fred and Ed (see above).
If you have NOT completed your COVID vaccination cycle, we ask that you skip the Sing-Alongs for now, to protect you from US.
