Session Plans

The UUCC Session Plans have been developed over the years by the minister, by individuals within the congregation, and by a Topics Committee. 

The listing of UUCC Small Group Ministry Session Plans is designed so that you can select by clicking on Title or Topic. Session Plans that do not have a Topic listed are general. We may add other Topics and the directory continues to build.

Session plans have been published by UUCC, are found on the UU Small Group Ministry Network website (www.smallgroupministry.net) ,  and are available in various publications.
