Covenant Groups
Covenant groups meet monthly for two hours and generally use the
following structure: chalice lighting with a short reading from
a UU source, about 45 minutes for members to check in, introduction
of the topic and discussion, likes and wishes to guide in shaping
the next meeting, and closing words.
Members of the group make a covenant regarding the way they will
be with one another and a commitment to attend. Anyone who is in
agreement with the group's purpose and plan is welcome to join a
group. One need not be a member of our congregation to participate.
If one of these groups interests you, please call the group leader
for more information. If you have an idea for a new covenant group
or other questions regarding this program, call Rev. Charlie Ortman
at (973) 744-6276 (ext. 11).
