The Ethical Living Committee nurtures events and small group activities that foster fellowship and ethical development. We seek to connect every person, from the core of our congregation to our ever-growing community, to a group that supports the discovery and practice of ethical values.
Join us to learn and grow; make new friends; or simply relax and have fun! Below is a sample of what our multigenerational programming has to offer.
Have an idea for a new group? Something we’re missing that you’d like to see? Reach out today and let’s make it happen!
