UCC Players

 Join UCC Players’ For A One Evening Fundraiser of Shakespeare on Saturday, January 24th  at 7pm in the Assembly Room.

Their goal is to raise funds so they can replace their antiquated, energy-wasting lights with more modern, energy-efficient LED lights. The evening will be called: “List, List, O List: An Evening of Shakespeare’s Soliloquies, Sonnets, Songs and Scenes.” Many members (and clergy) will be performing. Join us for a fun night for a great cause.

Even before Union Congregational Church was built, the spirit of dramatic performance was alive! The storied history of the UCC Players stretches back to the very roots of the church. As far back as the late 1800s, drama groups were associated with the church and were instrumental in bringing the community together and raising funds to build the church. 

Fast forward over a century, and that vibrant tradition continues. For over 30 years, the UCC Players have enriched the community with a diverse lineup of theatrical performances. staged readings, and social gatherings. The UCC Players are known for their wide-ranging repertoire, which spans the classics – from Chekhov to Shakespeare – to engaging contemporary works, vibrant musicals, and original plays.

Archives

Tuesdays at 4pm

Join the Archives small group – we meet Tuesday afternoons from 4pm to 5pm in the Archives Room on the 2nd floor of the Vincent Building. We are in the midst of a multi-year project organizing Union’s documents, photographs, pictures, and more – all the while sharing conversation, laughter and fun, interesting, and often inspirational facts and lessons from those who came before us.

Chair Yoga

Wednesdays at 10:30am

Come build community through 45 minutes of chair yoga. Seated in a chair, we will move gently, mindfully, stretching, and finding our alignment both internally and externally. Breath is emphasized as is a smile. Modifications are always provided and we move at a pace that is appropriate for all levels and all ages.

Union Sages

Twice a month in the Guild Room, usually the first and third Wednesday at noon.

Sages is a group of older members and friends that meet twice a month for a brown bag lunch and informal discussion of questions and issues that are relevant in that stage of their lives. The purpose of the group is to build community and support by providing a forum for discussion and gathering as a community.
