We also
welcome the religiously wounded - many who thought
they would
never go back to church have found a spiritual home with us!

Your Brain. She also hosts “Rubicon Salon” on WICR-FM and

Covenant Group is on hold over the summer, and will resume in the fall. Watch here for the new schedule. Covenant Group is an opportunity for us to get to know one another better, and is a sharing session with no direct cross talk. All are welcome at Covenant Group, including visitors. Come check it out! Click here for more information about Covenant Group.
Circle Fellowship is a diverse family on a free-ranging spiritual
journey. We are lay led (have no professional clergy), and draw on
ourselves and the community for programs. Sunday program topics are wide
ranging.
We try to balance programs between
artistic, spiritual or religious, social issues and social justice, science & technology
and reflection on our selves and our own congregation, and we always ask our
speakers to include or leave time for discussion.
Visitors to Circle Fellowship might enjoy Buddhist meditation one week, classical guitar the next and the history of the early Christian church the next. One of our most popular program series has members share about their journeys to their own beliefs. Our Fellowship is small enough to give everyone a voice and, if they wish it, an active role in planning and helping with various projects and activities.

Work Parties
One of the non-monetary ways you can give to Fellowship is
by attending work parties. The phrase "the more the merrier!
definitely applies to work parties. If only 2 or 3 people
show up it can seem like more work than party, but if 6 or 8
or more attend, it becomes more party than work! And even
better, we get lots done! - many hands make light work.
Please plan to attend our next work party on Saturday
October 18th at 9:00 am!
