We would love to have you join us in a Chalice Circle or Interest Group
Chalice Circles and Interest Groups are groups of various sizes which meet regularly for the purpose of getting to know one another while learning, discussing, and acting on topics of common interest. You do not have to be a member of Red River UU to attend these small groups. Chalice Circles and Interest Groups are always open to new participants.
If you are interested in attending a particular Circle or Group, please contact the chalicecircles@test.redriveruu.org .
Watch the events listing for meetings.
Earth Day Planning Committee, The Reason Earth Day is celebrated in Texoma,
Meets the Second Tuesday of the month at Red River UU Church in Denison Texas.
In 2008, the Red River UU Green Team held an Earth Day festival at the church. While it was a small event that first year, there was so much enthusiasm that we created a breakout committee to plan earth day festivals for every year, except 2020 when a Recycle event was held instead. Check out the Earth Day website www.earthdaytexoma.org and our facebook page ‘Texoma Earth Day Festival’ – for updates.
All those who love the Earth are welcome!
Facilitator: Amy Hoffman-Shehan earthdaytexoma @ test.redriveruu.org
Monarch Waystation
By vote of the congregation we’ve created a monarch waystation on the church grounds. A group of caring volunteers weed, prune, water, plant and love the garden. Since we are in the main path for their annual migration and given their danger of extinction, the effort reflects our Interdependence value, centered in love.
- Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.
Moveable Feast – A Cooking and Eating Circle.
Meets at moveable times and moveable places!
This Chalice Circle is a group of members and friends who love to eat and socialize over food. It is considered a chalice circle, instead of an interest group because they begin and end the meal with a reading, and end the meal with a checkout if they are not in a restaurant.
In the past, the Feasters have met in homes, restaurants, and even in the Chapel at church. They have gone on food outings visiting various markets. If you are interested in hosting, please contact the Norris.
Anyone who loves to cook or eat is welcome!
Facilitators: Susie & Walter Norris Feast @ test.redriveruu.org
Social Justice & Equality
At Red River UU, social justice isn’t just something we do — it’s part of who we are. It flows naturally from our spiritual life and our shared UU values. If you feel called to help build a more just and 
compassionate world, you’ll find kindred spirits here.
Our Social Justice group meets on the fourth Sunday of each month at 1:00 pm, and everyone is welcome — whether you’re a long-time activist or simply curious about getting involved.
Many people are drawn to Unitarian Universalism because our Principles and Values inspire us to stand up for fairness, equality, diversity, and dignity. Our members participate in justice work both together and individually, following their own passions and commitments.
We’re proud to be a Reproductive Justice Congregation (since 2016) and an active member of the Texas UU Justice Ministry (since 2012) and a lifetime member of Grayson County NAACP.
Come join us — your voice and your heart are welcome here.
