BUC Choir
The BUC Choir, directed by Abha Dearing, performs four Sunday mornings a month.   They sing a wide variety of music---from spirituals to classical to Billy Joel to folksongs to comtemporary. The 40 to 50 member group rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00, with goodies and conversation afterwards. They also present a Christmas concert and an entire service centered around music.  Newcomers are always welcome.   There is great cameraderie in this group and no auditions required.
All-Church No-Fault Orchestra
Each Christmas we gather together our All-Church No-Fault Orchestra--instrumentalists from 5th graders through grandparents--to provide special holiday music and carols for a Sunday morning service. This year we have 55 players--great intergenerational experience!
Sharing Dinners
One Saturday each month, groups of  7 or 8 BUCers gather in each others' homes for a planned potluck dinner.  This is a great opportunity to get to know other BUC members and friends.  Each month the names are shuffled, giving participants the chance to dine and visit with many different people during the year.
Book Clubs
BUC book clubs meet monthly for facilitated discussions of books.   Current groups are Contemporary Novels, Avid Readers and Potpourri.
The Knitting Ministry
This group knits or crochets shawls, lap robes or similar articles for members who are grieving, coping with a serious illness or otherwise in need of comfort, or to celebrate a milestone event or friendship. Members supply their own materials and/or share materials and patterns. Help create gifts that express love and compassion from the BUC community to the recipient.
Holiday Dinners
Simplify your holidays by joining fellow BUCers in the Social Hall for a potluck dinner complete with roast turkey on both Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
MAMA's Coffee House
Come and be entertained by professional musicians while sipping coffee, cabaret style, with friends at BUC on selected Saturday evenings---open mic at 7:15 p.m. with regular show from 8-10 p.m.  People interested in planning are also welcome.  For more information:  www.mamascoffeehouse.org
