Fellowship with Family
GNUUC is a family oriented congregation. Our smaller size fosters community. We all know each other and all of our children and youth. Inter-generational Fellowship is important to us. The Fellowship Group supports social based events such as our annual Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas Eve dinner, Lunch Hour, Annual Retreat, and Pickin’ Parties.
