ONGOING EVENTS – Open to All:
First Sunday of the month, after the service (Pavilion)
Friends, please join us after our Sunday Service to share food, drink, and companionship at our Potluck Lunch. You’re welcome to bring a dish to go around. Drinks will be provided. Be ready to fill out a card describing your dish. If you forgot to bring something, don’t worry – we will share. And be sure to stick around afterwards to help clean up; we could always use a few hands to make light work. It’s a great way to get to know people at church.
Second Sunday of the month, after the service (Sanctuary – Online by Request.)
Emerson’s Environmental Justice Ministry team meets once a month to take action for climate justice. Whether it’s local clean energy initiatives, national or global campaign projects with environmental movement partners, or writing letters to encourage voters to support environmental justice – there’s something we can each do to build a better future. Whether a new or longtime member – you are welcome and your action is needed! For more information, see the Environmental Justice Ministry page in this website or contact Rhonda or Andrea.

EMERSON AMBLERS: Join us on Monday evenings for an easy going stroll on mostly flat ground. We alternate weekly between North and South in the western SF Valley. During the changing summer temperatures check notices weekly and/or with LindaBeth to verify time and place. When the weather is too hot (above 85) or rainy, we meet inside an air conditioned mall at 4 pm (to avoid crowds). When the weather is pleasant, we meet about 1-1/2 hours before sunset either at Orcutt Ranch or in Chatsworth, currently 5 pm.
– Under 82 degrees: 5 pm, Chatsworth: Rockpointe, a tree-lined community, corner of Devonshire & Larwin (west of Topanga Blvd. just before Chatsworth Park South).
– Over 85 degrees: 4 pm, Topanga Westfield Mall, enter Owensmouth parking structure and park at the far northern end of the second floor, and meet at the 2nd floor food court near the Apple Store.

EXPLORATORY PAGAN GROUP
– 1st Tuesday of each month at 7 pm (Zoom 2: live2.emersonuuc.org).
– 3rd Sunday of each month after church: Meet in Emerson’s Garden for a brief elemental meditation.
This discussion group explores paganism from a UU perspective. With enough participation from our congregation there is the potential to become a local chapter of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS). We occasionally pair with the Worship Committee to bring fun and meaningful content to the Sunday worship. We encourage all to come and check us out! For more information, see the Pagan Chat & Study Group page in our Community menu.

Unperceived Media Club
The Unperceived Media Club is centered around expanding member knowledge of the world and learning from new perspectives we otherwise would not have thought about. We examine various types of media, from documentaries to music to books to art pieces. If any of this interests you, we meet once a month in Zoom 2 with our first meeting scheduled for November 15, 2025 at 6 pm. Our first meeting will be a viewing of (and subsequent guided discussion on) We Still Live Here, a documentary about the sort of in-house revival of the Wampanoag language, as well as the challenging circumstances surrounding that. Contact: Christi Kelly.
