Outdoor Adventure Group

The UUCC Outdoor Adventure Group is a group of church members who enjoy hiking and being outdoors. We are open to friends, visitors, and families of all types. Hikes are planned once a month and vary in location and level of difficulty. Each May the group has its Annual Mother's Day Canoe Trip to the New River. The UUCC Outdoor Adventure Group is a community building activity that allows one to not only enjoy the great outdoors but to feel a connection to other UUCC members through a pleasant, relaxing, and joyful walk in the woods. All are welcome, even beginners! If interest grows, other outdoor activities may be considered and planned. Rita Heath-Singer, 704-364-6333, jsinger@carolina.rr.com.

SLUGS Softball Team

With a modicum of coordination, you may be ready to play on the church softball team, the UUCC SLUGS. All that’s needed is a glove, a good sense of humor and a willingness to tolerate a group of people still trying to relive their youth. The team plays about 10 evening games once a week, Mon-Thurs, starting in April with practice beginning in March. We welcome anyone over the age of 16. Contact: Mike Long, 704-543-4880, mikelong@shortalert.com.

Theater Group

Each year a satirical review called The Follies is inflicted upon us by a talented group of writers and performers who know the difference between good taste and bad taste, and how to ignore it. Contact: Mic Elvenstar, 704-362-3105, dearmic@earthlink.net.

Yoga

Nourish your body, mind and spirit with hour and a half Kripalu yoga session that includes relaxation and centering through breath work and meditation. Appropriate for all levels including beginners. Meets Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel. Contact: Bill Cooke, 704-364-2107, billcooke@mindspring.com.
