Women’s Breakfast Fall 2025
In September, Lisa Blankenship “Empathy: What Can It Teach All of Us?”
Lisa Blankenship, a member of our church since March of this year, spoke on “Why she has studied empathy and what it has taught her.” She serves as an associate professor of English at Baruch College at the City University of New York, and has written and co-edited three books on empathy. In this interactive talk, Lisa shared stories about her research on empathy, what got her started and has sustained her interest, what she’s learned, and what empathy has to offer our current challenges as a society.
Thanks to everyone who came out for The UCC Players production of “Barbecuing Hamlet” in June!
The UCC Players have a rich and diverse 30+ year history at Union Congregational Church. The Players present theatrical performances and readings, and host informal social gatherings to foster community and creativity amongst Union’s members, friends and the community at large. Productions range from Chekhov and Shakespeare to contemporary works, musicals, and original plays & scenes. With something for everyone, there is a place for you within our intrepid band of thespians!
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.
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.
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.
Perform At Sunday Worship, Rehearsals Vary
Adult Choir, UCC Ringers Handbell Choir, and Children’s Choir all provide opportunities to experience the joy of music, teamwork, and deepen your connection to the spirit.
