Women's Group
Tuesday, November 18th at 6:30 pm
In this season of Thanksgiving, it is sometimes hard to reconcile tough relationships with family and friends.  Join Peggy Sabau in the UUCCI library at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 18th, to learn about Naikan, a technique that guides us toward a genuine feeling of gratitude and forgiveness toward those who have hurt us.  Bring a light snack, if you like, to share along with your open minds and gentle hearts.
Women's Group is open to all women, and those who identify as women, to foster community and share our interests, values and experiences, and to learn and grow!

“Voting Rights Under Attack” BOLD Speaker Series
Nov 19, 2025 from 6:30-8:00 pm
Presentation by Julia Vaughn, Common Cause
Question & Answer session to follow
During the 2025 Indiana Legislative session, Julia Vaughn and  Common Cause Indiana worked around the clock to advocate for legislation that would build a more accessible and inclusive democracy.
They successfully secured several important wins for Indiana voters, including killing legislation that would have closed Indiana primaries to independent voters and cut the early voting period in half, from 28 days to 14 days. And yet, they know there’s still a lot of work to be done since a couple of bad bills did pass this session and the many pro-democracy bills were not scheduled for hearings. Come hear Julia review the last legislative session and give us a close-up of what to expect in the 2026 sesion.  

Friendsgiving Pitch-In
November 23 after service
Join us for a Friendsgiving after service. A chance to enjoy community. If you are able to bring a dish to share, that is appreciated but not necessary to attend.

If you are able to help welcome folks or clean up after, we are thankful.
