Grow your connections to our beloved community at UUCMC!

Covenant Circles are groups of 8-10 people who meet once a month for 10 months. You can expect a diverse group of newcomers and longer time members and friends, younger and older people. Please contact Lisa Arcoleo with your questions. Please note you do not have to be a member of our congregation to participate in a Covenant Circle. ALL are welcome!

We envision our Covenant Circles offering a Zoom option in addition to any in-person small group meetings. In the spirit of love and inclusion, we expect participants to be willing to change the circles each year. 

Sign up for a Covenant Circle

The purpose of a covenant circle is to create an intimate space for each participant to deepen their connections with each other and minister to one another. We do this by exploring together matters of ultimate worth via unifying monthly themes. Please note we always need people to volunteer to be facilitators to be able to accommodate everyone who would like to participate in this valuable ministry. 

Monthly themes for the next congregational year beginning September 2023 will explore the challenges and paths of… Welcome, Heritage, Generosity, Mystery, Liberating Love, Justice and Equity, Transformation, Interdependence, Pluralism, Renewal.

Each Covenant Circle will:

  • Meet together once a month beginning in September. Please do your best to attend regularly.
  • Do a service project of their choice together, either inside or outside of UUCMC.
  • Use a prepared session plan designed to explore your thoughts and feelings about our monthly themes.
  • A facilitator will lead the group experience and receive training and support from Rev. Craig and the Covenant Circle organizers.
  • Members commit to keep confidentiality, to listen deeply to one another and to participate to the best of their ability.
