Both church members and non-members are welcome to participate in affinity groups.

Dawn Redwood Meditation Group

Meets:  every Tuesday at 10:00 AM

The group takes its name from the dawn redwood tree in A2U2’s courtyard.  Each week one member of the group chooses an on-line dharma talk that we all listen to at home. Our meetings include sitting and walking meditation and discussion of the dharma talk.

For more information, contact Connie Cross.

Elder Salon

Meets:  the third Saturday of each month, 9:30 AM – noon.

Join this group to discuss the challenges, concerns, revelations and perplexities of “the third, third” of life. Group members alternate as facilitators.  Sometimes the topic is chosen ahead of time and sometimes we discuss a topic that arises as we check in around the circle.

For more information, contact Kathy Gulrich.

Food Co-op

A co-operative of 25 members seeking to purchase the best food at the best prices while protecting the environment and supporting our community.  We place orders every four weeks from several vendors and charge an annual fee of $30.  Each member has a co-op job that will take an average of one and a half to two hours per month.
