Mattmccutchen: Stop referring to youngadults@firstparishcambridge.org as it may be taken over by a new group.

Young Adult Group (YAG) is a thriving community for ages 18-35 at First Parish in Cambridge, Massachusetts (Unitarian Universalist). With a focus on kindness and respect, we welcome a diversity of people and ideas, and seek to build deep, lasting relationships.

Many young adults come from a variety of faith traditions and backgrounds; they may be unaffiliated with a religious denomination, nonreligious/secular, searching for a spiritual community, "spiritual but not religious", undecided, or a combination of the above. Many are also members of the Unitarian Universalist congregation, and find spiritual fulfillment and leadership opportunities by participating in many aspects of community life.

Knowing that our inner lives of self-discovery are enriched through participation in an intentional community, we collaborate to grow together in awareness, conscience, and spirit. We meet once a week for spiritual discussion, worship, community building, and creative sharing. We often get brunch after Sunday services, as well as hiking, going to local events, potlucks, and group retreats.

We are mindful that we each bring something unique to the group, and that growth is a process of teaching and learning from one another.We are an inclusive circle and invite our members to participate as they are able and comfortable. All are welcome.

Come and join us on Tuesday nights from 7:15 to 9, at First Parish in Cambridge (3 Church St. in Harvard Square).

Sunday services start at 10:30, followed by a coffee hour. The Young Adult Group meets informally for lunch every Sunday after coffee hour. This is an easy way to meet people and find out more about YAG.

First Parish in Cambridge Young Adult Group

Mattmccutchen: Note the upcoming meeting time change

__NOTOC__

==Who We Are==

The Young Adult Group (YAG) is a thriving community for ages 18-35 at First Parish in Cambridge, Massachusetts (Unitarian Universalist). With a focus on kindness and respect, we welcome a diversity of people and ideas, and seek to build deep, lasting relationships. Knowing that our inner lives of self-discovery are enriched through participation in an intentional community, we strive to grow together in awareness, conscience, and spirit. We meet once a week for spiritual discussion, worship, community building, and creative activity. We usually go out for brunch after Sunday services, as well as hosting potlucks, local outings, hiking, and occasional group retreats.

Our young adults come from a variety of faith traditions and backgrounds; they may be unaffiliated with a religious denomination, nonreligious/secular, searching for a spiritual community, "spiritual but not religious", undecided, or a combination of the above. Many are also members of the Unitarian Universalist congregation, and find deeper fulfillment by participating in other aspects of community life. We are mindful that each brings something unique to the group, and that growth is a process of teaching and learning from one another. We are an inclusive circle and invite our members to participate as they are able and comfortable. All are welcome!

First Parish in Cambridge Young Adult Group

==Who We Are==

The Young Adult Group (YAG) is a thriving community for ages 18-35 at First Parish in Cambridge, Massachusetts (Unitarian Universalist). With a focus on kindness and respect, we welcome a diversity of people and ideas, and seek to build deep, lasting relationships. Knowing that our inner lives of self-discovery are enriched through participation in an intentional community, we strive to grow together in awareness, conscience, and spirit. We meet once a week for spiritual discussion, worship, community building, and creative activity. We usually go out for brunch after Sunday services, as well as hosting potlucks, local outings, hiking, and occasional group retreats.

Our young adults come from a variety of faith traditions and backgrounds; they may be unaffiliated with a religious denomination, nonreligious/secular, searching for a spiritual community, "spiritual but not religious", undecided, or a combination of the above. Many are also members of the Unitarian Universalist congregation, and find deeper fulfillment by participating in other aspects of community life. We are mindful that each brings something unique to the group, and that growth is a process of teaching and learning from one another. We are an inclusive circle and invite our members to participate as they are able and comfortable. All are welcome!

Topic Descriptions

Mattmccutchen: Add link to new leader resources document.

'''See [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AUi9Nf2Moyr3DvlAhqJp1xP890NaK7QvF5xnzbhc2ws/edit Suzi's new leader resources document].'''

'''Tuesday Nights'''

The First Parish in Cambridge Young Adult Group has a rotating topic schedule for our Tuesday night meetings. On the first Tuesday of each month we meet for a Community Building discussion or activity, on the second Tuesday we meet for a Spiritual Discussion, on the third Tuesday we meet for either Creative Sharing or a Creative Activity and on the fourth Tuesday we meet for a Worship based discussion or activity. If a month has five Tuesdays, the last Tuesday in the month is used for trying out new and different topics or activities. A short description of each weekly topic can be found below.

'''Community Building'''

On the first Tuesday of each month, we have a community building activity. In the past, these have ranged from ice-breakers to games to activities that help us get to know each other better. At our September, 2014 planning meeting, we talked about focusing on getting to know each other better and building trust and teamwork. This theme is pretty broad, so it can be interpreted how the leader likes!

'''Spiritual Discussion'''

-under construction-

'''Creative Activity'''

A Creative Activity is an activity where you invite the group to create something, whether physical or not. The activity can incorporate elements of spirituality or just be fun, but activities that are purely games belong better in Community Building.
