INTRODUCTION |
Davies
Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church has devised a fulfilling program of social and cultural activities to stimulate
the mind and spirit, and -- to heck with it -- to have a good time!
Check our
calendar for dates and opportunities.
Directions to join us. |
DAVIES FORUM
Davies Forum
is an unique program that invites the community at large to listen,
discuss, and be inspired to action. The Forum hosts subject experts
and authors on relevant and current topics that engages all humans
to solicit the call for true community involvement.
|
BOOK DISCUSSION
The Emerson group meets at member’s homes throughout the
year to discuss books. Currently discussing: American
Transcendentalism |
DINING OUT has become a very popular Adult Program activity. Once a month we select one of the Washington area's more interesting restaurants for a shared meal. Notice we said interesting, not necessarily expensive. So if your taste runs from Thai to Mexican, Afghan to plain old down home American, you can indulge your palate and your spirit of adventure.
|
MOVIES AND MUNCHIES
For a quieter, more intimate social encounter, we feature monthly get-togethers at church members' homes. Friends get together to shoot the breeze. Movies and Munchies includes enjoying a movie together that is usually not easily found at the local video store, which is occasionally followed by a discussion and other times just more socializing. back to top

Lunch Bunch
