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.

– Meets Third Sunday of each month following church services.
Next Meeting: Sunday, June 14, following services.

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 afternoons-evenings for an easy going stroll on mostly flat ground. We alternate weekly between North and South in the western SF Valley. When the weather is pleasant, we typically meet about 1-1/2 hours before sunset either at Orcutt Ranch or in Chatsworth. When it rains or is too hot (above 85), we meet inside an air conditioned mall at 4 pm (to avoid crowds) or dance at LindaBeth’s home. Check notices weekly and/or with LindaBeth to verify time and place.

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’s goal is to broaden member horizons through the consumption and discussion of various types of media.

EMERSON CHOIR
A place where you can connect, listen, and sing. All are invited to participate, even those who are not currently members of Emerson’s Choir. See the Music & Choir page in the Community menu for more information.

SMALL COMMUNITY CIRCLE
One of the ways we connect with each other at Emerson is in our Small Community Circles—which are the core of our adult spiritual development program at Emerson. Each month, our small groups explore the monthly theme in greater depth. It allows each person a chance to share if they choose and to be heard and held by the group. Learn more on our Small Community Circle page under our Community menu, or by contacting Tracy Watson or Rene Lancon via Emerson Office.
