Small Groups

At United Congregational Church we are committed to offer loving, supportive community and opportunities to grow in our faith.

Our small groups are one way we help foster meaningful friendships as well as spiritual growth. We have a variety of regular small groups as well as seasonal book studies, bible studies, poetry workshops, walking meditations, and support groups.

Men's + Breakfast

Established in 2001! The men’s group meets every Saturday morning at Newcomb Farms Family Restaurant, 1139 Randolph Avenue, to support each other over coffee and a hearty breakfast.

Knitters

The knitters group is composed of dedicated crafters who enjoy knitting and crocheting. They have numerous projects to work on. Prayer shawls for members of the church who are in need of comfort due to illness or crisis and baby blankets for baptisms are the most common of their production. But other items such as scarves, hats and peace pal dolls are donated to charities.

While knitting together we thoroughly enjoy the fellowship. Knitters of all levels are welcome.

Mid-Life Men’s Meetup

The mid-life men’s + group is a gender-inclusive Men’s discussion group that meets every Tuesday evening, alternating between church and Trillium Brewery in Canton. Our church group discussion topics focus on the typical challenges men face in midlife, such as balancing family, career, relationships, and elder care responsibilities. We provide a confidential place to listen, share, and seek advice from the group. Our meetups at Trillium are more casual and focused on camaraderie. We know that midlife is more of a stage than an age, so please join us if these topics interest you.

Senior Book Group

This book discussion group meets every six weeks, usually on Thursday mornings at 10 o’clock in the Church parlor. The group selects its next book at the previous discussion meeting. We read both fiction and nonfiction. We take turns acting as the discussion leader.

We welcome any new members!

Baby/Toddler Play Group

About once per month, we host a play group for babies and toddlers about ages 4 and under and their caregivers. This is a great opportunity for parents of babies and toddlers to get to know each other and build supportive relationships as they navigate the joys and challenges of parenting.

The Women+ Group

The Women+ Group is open to all who identify as women and those who don’t fall into the binary but would like to join. The group meets on the 1st Sunday of every month @ 11:30am in the Church parlor. It will also hold regular social outings. Questions? Ask Anna Lannstrom (alannstrom@gmail.com) or Luna Azaret (luna.azaret@gmail.com)

Zoom Connect

Every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m., join Pastors R.G. or Megan on Zoom for Zoom Connect. Whether you have a question about the church, would like a chance to connect with others, or just want to drop in to say hi, we’d love for you to join us. Join the conversation by clicking HERE.

Dinner Groups

Each Dinner Group brings together 6-10 people from across our congregation to share meals, conversations, and new connections. Groups meet approximately once a month from October through May. Meals can be potluck-style and hosted in one another’s homes, or another spot that works well for you. We also have a Zoom Dinner Group for those who prefer to gather virtually. You’re invited to share a meal from your own kitchen or dining room while connecting online for conversation and community. If you’re interested in joining a Dinner Group, you can reach out to Pastor Megan at megan@uccmilton.org or sign up to join a new group in September 2026.

Craft Club

This is a newly formed group, aimed at both first-time and experienced crafters to meet at a time that those with a standard work schedule can attend. We currently plan to meetup in the evening on the 3^rd Thursday of the month. Crafts include anything that you can physically bring with you! (e.g. sewing, knit crochet, embroidery, etc.) A variety of craft supplies will be available for you to look at and figure out what you might like to try your hand at! To learn more, please email Luna at Luna.Azaret@gmail.com.
