Sunday Morning Forum began many years ago in complement to minister led worship on Sunday mornings. With our Unitarian Universalist values as both foundation and springboard, the Forum has grown into a well moderated, high quality, adult discussion group that promotes learning on a wide variety of topics. It is a classroom of people who trust each other's good intentions and value each other's diverse opinions.

Together, UUFP's pastoral and laity-led educational opportunities nourish the mind and spirit and infuse us to be Light in the world!

"Why Do People Shoot Each Other?"

Presented Ardith Chambers &
Ken Goodrich
The news is full of the gun rights controversy, but we need to look past the law and focus more on the conditions that give rise to gun violence.  Ardith Chambers, with the assistance of Ken Goodrich, will discuss the social and cultural influences on what we are seeing in the United States today.

​"Faith Transitions"

Presented by
Corey Anderson and April Kelsey
January 26. 2020
Many people find their way to Unitarian Universalism through family heritage, self exploration, or a natural progression of values.  But what about those who choose to make the leap from ultra-conservative or fundamentalist religions? How does that happen, and what does such radical change entail?  Join Corey Anderson and April Kelsey on January 26 as they discuss the challenges involved in “Faith Transitions.” This forum will address topics such as leaving (and grieving) lifelong communities of faith, dealing with the fallout from friends and relatives, and learning how to move forward with integrity.  Come to listen, ask questions, or share your own experiences.

"What Do You UUs Believe?"

Presented by Kathryn Ozyurt
January 19, 2020
Reverend Andrew Millard and Director of Religious Education Joanne Dingus recently conducted a three-part class on our Unitarian Universalists history, finishing with a great exercise on what Unitarians and Universalists brought to the merger of our religions in 1961.  This Sunday, we’ll talk about what we believe now in the second decade of the 21st century.  Bring your elevator speeches, and let’s discuss!

"Soapstone Church and Liberian Community"


Presented by Mason Moseley
January 12. 2020
Patricia and Mason's travels take them to northeast South Carolina where they discover the African-American history of the area through the congregation's dedicated church fund raising activity of a monthly meal.  Struggles of African-American families after the Civil War, through Reconstruction, Jim Crow Laws, and the changing South in the early to mid-twentieth century are all represented in the history of this church.
