A group of our community members gathers in the Library every Sunday from 10:00 – 10:45 am for the weekly sharing circle. Everyone is welcome to attend and check in with a circle of caring, compassionate listeners.

10:31 AM – Lunch with the Bunch Set-Up
We have a few devoted volunteers in the community (ahem: Nancy, Carolyn, Princene & Warren) who manage the set-up most Sundays, but we are always looking for more assistance. If you’re early and looking for something to do, head down to the kitchen and offer your hands.

10:45 AM – Greeters Gather
If you are looking for a way to volunteer at BSEC but don’t have a lot of time or not sure where to plug in… Sign up or show up to be a greeter on Sunday morning! The job entails welcoming people, giving them programs, making name tags and smiling like you’re on the cover of a magazine. It’s a great way to meet people. Parent-child teams are warmly welcomed to this great task!!

11:00 AM – Platform
Our community gathers each Sunday for a Platform from 11:00am to 12:30pm, September through June. Platform might be a talk by our clergy leader or guests, an informal colloquy, or an inter-generational seasonal celebration. It includes music, meditation, a presentation on a theme, and an open response period. Platform allows us to share fellowship, examine major ethical issues, and explore the personal and social aspects of living an ethical life. Please take a look at our calendar for the upcoming platform schedule.

12:30 PM – Lunch with the Bunch
A member-contributed potluck follows platform every week. There is no charge to eat, everyone is welcome for this weekly brunch. We are dependent on your luncheon donations, so please remember to bring a dish to pass every so often. You are also welcome to bring your lunch and just join a table.
