Gathered Here
Gathered Here – September 2024 through December 2024
Gathered Here is an online check-in for Canadian Unitarian Universalist young adults.
Join other UU 18 to 35 year-olds on Zoom for sharing of joys and sorrows, deeper check-ins, prayerful reflections, and an opportunity to process the events of our lives with a spiritually grounded community. Each month we are joined by a member of the Young Adult Pastoral Care Team.
These gatherings have become highly valued touchstones in the lives of many young adults. While so much in our lives is unknown and unknowable, we can find comfort in familiar rituals and faces. By sharing our joys, our concerns, our sorrows and our gratitudes, we know ourselves to be held in a loving community. Exploring themes and spiritual practices helps us each remember our own creativity and resilience. We are all in this together, a part of a larger story.
These are drop-in gatherings, so you don’t need to sign up in advance and there is no fee.
You are invited to stay for fifteen minutes of casual social time after each call.
Here is the schedule for the fall of 2024:

In the months of October and December, young adults are invited to join Connect & Deepen, a similar small group ministry style drop-in led by the Congregational Life Team. While young adults are always welcome at this all-ages event, for these two months, a Pastoral Care Team minister will also be present to provide a familiar face. Connect & Deepen is also structured around exploring spiritual themes that are alive in the Canadian UU world.
