We provide opportunities for enrichment, enjoyment, and enhancement for the spiritual and personal growth of adults.  Learning for us is a life-long journey, an active, participatory process.  Bring your whole self to these gatherings: your questions, your reverence, your irreverence, your creative self-expression, your humor, and your ability to deeply listen to the perspectives of others.  As you can see, many of our adult education courses also reinforce this goal and our plan for Lifespan Faith Development.

Covenant Groups

Covenant Groups are small groups of 8–12 people that meet monthly with the agreement (covenant) to strengthening connections with each other and with our Church, as well as deepening our spiritual lives.  The small group setting is a way for both new and long-term members to be a part of a smaller community. Our groups meet to discuss spiritual growth, life experiences, and other topics of choice and to share in fellowship in more depth than Sunday services can provide.

Our Covenant Groups are organized by geographical area but you may attend any group of your choice. UUSD has five Covenant Groups, each with a coordinator:

• Bethany Beach: Carole Toomey, 302-537-1126
• Lewes: Betty Kirk, 302-645-9061
• Milton: Dara Schumaier, 302-329-7393
• Rehoboth Beach: Gary Colangelo, 302-227-1882
• Northern/Western DE: Joyce Fitch, 302-684-2553

Men’s Group

The Men’s Group is a monthly support group, limited in size and open to UUSD male members and friends, that provides an opportunity for men to meet and discuss what is going on in their lives, share experiences, assist group members in their personal quests, and contribute to the well being of the group.  Requirements include confidentiality of discussions, upholding the UUSD covenant of good relations, and a commitment to attend meetings.

Coordinators: Paul Barnette, 443-397-5269 and Ron Schaeffer, 302-644-8382
