Finding a Group
To find out what groups are currently active and when they meet, check the calendar of events or our newsletter, The Builder. (If you don't receive the newsletter, contact the church office and ask for a copy.)

Have an idea for a new type of group? Feel free to contact the minister. He may be able to put you in touch with others who share your interest and help get a new group started.

Other Groups and Activities

At the UU Church of Peoria, we know that one size doesn't fit all. That's why we offer a variety of small groups and social activities.

Interest Groups

Many groups within the church are based on common interests, such as:
  • Book discussion groups
  • Choir
  • Compassionate Communication
  • Drum circles
  • Finding Good Work (exploring career issues)
  • Travel group

Social Groups

We also have groups that get together just to enjoy one another's company for lunch, dinner, or other types of outings. Examples include the Free for Friendship singles group, Women's Third Thursday Lunch, and Retired Men's Lunch.

Outside Groups

Several community groups use church facilities for some of their activities. These groups are open to anyone who is interested. Examples include:
  • Attachment Parenting
  • Interfaith Alliance
  • Network of Spiritual Progressives
  • Reel to Real—Focus on Film
  • Zen Meditation

Special Events

Fun special events take place throughout the year. Some are fundraisers, others are "just because"—but all are guaranteed to be a good time! Here's a small sampling:
  • Potlucks
  • Annual Salad Luncheon
  • Chili Cook-off
  • Auction
  • Halloween Party
  • Thanksgiving Dinner
  • First Friday Fellowship (monthly gathering with food, music, games, and more)
