Pilgrim House
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
PH Connections Café
PH Connections Café (formally named the "Discussion Group") is an informal setting where topics of common interest are explored in more depth, and where participants can connect in a more intimate, smaller group setting than is typical during Sunday morning program discussion periods. Topics are decided by the group and announced ahead of time on the PH Web Site and in Sunday Bulletins. Discussion sessions run about 90 minutes, and are held at Pilgrim House at 7:00 pm on the 3rd Monday of each month. A different group member serves as the volunteer-facilitator for each evening’s discussion. All members and friends of Pilgrim House are invited to participate.
Check out the PH Connections Café buzz for yourself! For more information, contact Les Rogers (lesrogers50@gmail.com). Or just drop in on the next Connections Café meeting.
