Authentic Connection

 

Small Group Ministry Covenant Groups

At UU Nashua, our Covenant Groups are composed of 8-10 individuals who meet monthly to share and explore issues more deeply than possible in other areas of congregational life. These groups are wonderful for both longtime members and anyone new to our community. We ask that you commit to attending your group’s gatherings as your group builds and grows connections each time you gather. We understand life and illness happen, and we ask you to prioritize this as best you can.

For more information about Small Group Ministry Covenant Groups, email the Director of Faith Formation
