Social ActionThe Social Action Committee addresses community needs and works on issues of social justice in our communities and in the world. Our major local project is a partial house renovation task which is coordinated through the Americares Homefront Day. On the first Saturday of May members and friends contribute their skills and labor to fix up the house of a "needy" person in the area. The Social Action Committee also organizes gifts for children whose mothers are incarcerated at the nearby state prison, donations to a Peekskill food pantry, the sale of Fair Trade coffee and chocolate, and knitting for community organizations. Small Group MinistryWe gather monthly in groups of six to ten to deepen our connections through sharing conversation. By creating an open, supportive and nurturing environment, Small Group Ministry facilitates spiritual growth. Each group contributes a service project for the congregation and for the larger community. Groups are open to both members and friends of the congregation. Book ClubsThe Spiritual Writers Book Club meets monthly (on Tuesdays) and discusses a great variety of books. Bring-In LunchThe first Sunday of each month we share a pot-luck meal after the service. All are welcome to join in. Circle DinnersSeveral times a year these shared dinners are organized by the Membership Committee as a way for members and friends to gather in small groups in each other's homes to get to know each other better. Families with children, as well as adults, are encouraged to attend. The next date is Saturday, April 5. MusicWe have an "occasional choir" which prepares music for special services. Members and friends also are welcome to perform live music during the service. CommitteesThe Fourth Unitarian Society is a cooperative endeavor. Many committees are available for your participation: Building and Grounds, Caring, Communications, Hospitality, Membership, Religious Education, Social Action, Worship Associates. |
