Circle Dance
Throughout all ages and cultures, dances were used to honor the divine, to heal, and to affirm connection to the earth and each other in the Web of Life.  By dancing together, we build community and celebrate rites of passage and life transitions.  The dances can be strong and lively, as well as gentle and meditative, recalling the spirit of the people who created them. The steps and music come from around the world, drawn from ancient folk dance traditions and new inspiration. The steps are low-impact, fun and easy to learn.  No partners or previous experience are necessary, and newcomers are always welcome.  We usually gather the second Saturday of the month at Accotink, 7:30-9:30 p.m. Future dance dates are Oct. 8, Nov. 12 and Dec. 10, Jan 14, Feb 11, March 10, April 14, May 12, June 9.

Accotink Needlework Circle
The Accotink Needlework Circle is an opportunity for those interested in all types of needlework (knitting, crocheting, tatting, embroidery, cross-stitching, quilting, etc.) to gather for friendship, fellowship and fun.  This group is always open and welcomes new adults and teens and meets in the church gallery.  You can attend regularly or come-as-you-can.  The focus is to gather around friendship, share our knowledge and skills, create projects for AUUC, and have time to work on personal projects. No experience is necessary, and there is no homework!  We take occasional field trips to needlework exhibits, and share information about what is going on in the area.

Dates and time: 9:15 am -11 a.m. Tuesday mornings

AUUC nUUners
This informal, adult group meets on selected Mondays in the church’s gallery. We always welcome newcomers!  Come every time, occasionally, just for lunch, or just the programs; no reservations are required or expected. Bring your own brown bag lunch; we provide dessert, coffee and tea. We socialize informally over lunch, and then share of joys, concerns and church news. Our discussion of the day’s topic begins at noon and ends promptly at 1 p.m.  Everyone helps to set-up and clean-up.  We draw programs from attendees, and occasionally have outside presenters or a field trip.  And, we always have time for discussion!

Dates:  2nd and 4th Mondays at 11:15 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
