Adult Education
Different classes, meditation sessions, and the like are organized each year
according to members' interests, and led by the minister or lay leaders.
Classes have included "The History of God," "Ethics," "Women's Spirituality,"
and "Unitarian-Universalism."
Discussions of movies, videotapes, and books are ongoing throughout the year.
Currently several of the Fellowship members are holding a weekly reading and
discussion group. The fellowship library has books for loan.

Social Justice
Unitarian Universalism calls on its members to work for the betterment of their world.
The UU Fellowship provides its facilities for meetings of the Alliance for Racial Harmony,
Habitat for Humanity, Amnesty International, and other groups.
Special offerings are often made via a Skip-a-Meal program. In the recent past we have
contributed in this way to Domestic Violence Programs, Heifer International,
Loaves and Fishes food pantry, and The Mitten Tree. Each October for the last couple of years
we have been responsible for stocking the shelves at Loaves and Fishes.
In addition, members and young people donate to various civic, humanitarian, and service
organizations.

Music
Our services are enriched by a variety of music. Hymns are chosen from the new UU hymnal
Singing the Living Tradition,
which includes the familiar hymns as well as some less well-known.
Special music comes from our members, including our young people, and guest performers.
John Murphy, a former member of the WIU Music Department, composed "Wigwam Hollow Stomp"
for jazz ensemble, as well as the tune to our usual Sunday invocation. The late Clifford Julstrom
wrote a solo for violin and piano, "The Church on Wigwam Hollow Road." Rosa Julstrom coordinates
most of the music for our Sunday services and frequently plays the accompaniment to our hymns.
Social Activities
Our social activities vary. We regularly gather on Friday for lunch at either the
Lamoine Room at WIU or at a local resaurant, and we hold a potluck lunch at church
after the last Sunday service in each month. On a less regular basis we have TGIF
and holiday parties, discussions of movies, the enjoyment of live music at the
Sullivan Taylor Coffee House, and nature walks. We also host civic groups throughout
the year.
