"It's not a club, that was just a great movie"

The UUCE "Breakfast Cluub" is an open group of younger church members and friends in their 20s through 40s (college age, professionals, young parents, etc.). The origin of the group was in 2009 when some people got together and named it the "breakfast cluub" after the group of misfits in the movie of the same name.

We get together regularly for potlucks, work parties, bowling, or at the park (strangely, not ever for breakfast yet except when we're camping). Other activities include caroling, and wine/italian soda tasting while discussing a currently relevant UU book. Events are open to anyone who's interested... it's not a club, that was just a great movie. Bring a friend anytime.

Some of us are in college or are working professionals; many of us have school-age kids. Overall, everyone enjoys being around kids or cheerfully accepts mild chaos at a majority of the events or will help pay a group babysitter if they choose to come to that event. For college-age folks: the 20s part of the group is growing, be involved! You can help organize activities like movie nights or happy hours.

Many people affiliated with this group serve on church committees and participate in the Religious Education program as well - this helps our age group be fully integrated into congregational life. If you don't do anything yet, jump in to help with coffee service - it's easy and fun!

Current & upcoming activities 2013

SECOND SUNDAYS:

We have potlucks starting around 11:30, after the 10am service, on the second Sunday of each month, in addition to other special activities planned. This will usually take place at the church, but may also be at Papa's pizza, a local park (in good weather) or perhaps even a pb&j party at someone's house. Everyone is welcome. If you're new to the church or curious about BCluub, this is a great time to meet some folks. Adults socialize while kids color, play games and run around. Please bring a dish to share... muffins, soup, bagels & cream cheese, PB & J makings, healthy snack food, juice. Gluten free options welcome! If you bring an actual potluck dish we will rave about you for weeks!
