Namaqua Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Virtual Social Sisterhood
2024-05-23 12:00 - 13:00, 2024-05-09 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Denver)
The social sisterhood aims to create a virtual space for church women to connect bi-monthly, transcending geographical boundaries. Participants join from various locations, engaging in heartfelt conversations about their lives. There’s no set agenda, there’s no membership. It’s an inclusive forum for women to connect, fostering dialogue, and sharing ideas—ideal for newcomers or long-time members seeking meaningful connections within the church community.
We will meet virtually in Zoom Room 1. Please click here to connect.
