Covenant Groups 

A covenant groups is a small relational group that meets once per month. It provides opportunities for group members to build strong relationships with each other and with the larger Beloved Community at First Unitarian. Group members are encouraged to talk, learn, work and play together over time.

In a covenant group, people experience a relational individuality which affirms the inherent worth and dignity of every person. People experience themselves and each other as part of the interdependent web of existence of which we are all a part. Together, people establish communities which embody the values of justice, democracy and human dignity. Each person is treated equitably. Each has a voice and is heard. And each person is respected for his or her own intrinsic humanity.

The defining purpose of a covenant group is to bring people into right relationship with each other and with the larger world. Participating in a covenant group is a great way to meet and get to know others within the community and a great environment to deepen one’s spirituality.

All are welcome. Email CovenantGroups@OrlandoUU.org if you are interested in joining a group or for more information.
