The Greater Philly UU Cluster is focused on finding ways to develop a sense of community among the 14 Cluster congregations. We do this through activities including:
Cluster meetings
The Cluster holds meetings/trainings about every 2 months. In our meetings, we debrief past events and plan future events/projects.
Summit – On October 19, 2019 the Greater Philly Cluster will convene its first Summit to discuss the organizational structure and future direction of the Cluster.
