Adult Enrichment CommitteeAdult Enrichment

The Adult Enrichment Committee (AEC); with input from members of the congregation, the Minister, and the staff; identify, develop and implement a calendar of diverse program offerings for adults and children.  These programs include religious education courses, life-skills workshops, recreational groups/activities, and a variety of fellowship opportunities.

Read about upcoming programs in our Programming Guide on the Happenings page of our website or in The Bulletin our monthly church newsletter.

The AEC consists of three to six congregation members. The committee meets regularly to ensure the ongoing coordination of the program leaders, scheduling of space required, as well as communication to the congregation. Also, we periodically survey the congregation about potential new programs.

Inquiries about programs should be directed to AEC@fculittle.org.

The Adult Enrichment Programs are incredibly varied. They may be led by the Minister, by a lay member(s) of the congregation, or by an invited outside speaker. Some involve commitment to attend 3-4 meetings, others will continue throughout the year, and some may meet just once. Some programs use curricula provided by the UUA, others are designed to address specific needs or issues in the congregation. If you sign up for an Enrichment Program, try to attend as many sessions as you possibly can.

The following list includes some of the programs offered over the last years:

Conversations on Race
