Sunday Assembly (a Humanist congregation)

 

The Sunday Assembly is a secular congregation that celebrates life... We meet on the 2nd Sunday of every month (except May) for an event that combines inspiring talks, sing-along pop songs and a touch of mindfulness, all followed up by coffee and a chance to go lunch with new friends. In between these gatherings there’s loads of community activities to get involved with.

The time I spoke to them about Happiness:




OUR MISSION
To help everyone live life as fully as possible.

OUR VISION
A Sunday Assembly in every town, city and village that wants one.

OUR CHARTER
Together, we will:

Live Better | We aim to provide inspiring, thought-provoking and practical ideas that help people to live the lives they want to lead and be the people they want to be.

Help Often | Assemblies are communities of action, building lives of purpose, encouraging us all to help anyone who needs it to support each other.

Wonder More | Hearing talks, singing as one, listening to readings and even playing games helps us to connect with each other and the awesome world we live in.

The Sunday Assembly
Is 100% celebration of life. We are born from nothing and go to nothing. Let’s enjoy it together.
Has no doctrine. We have no set texts so we can make use of wisdom from all sources.
Has no deity. We don’t do supernatural but we also won’t tell you you’re wrong if you do.
Is radically inclusive. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their beliefs – this is a place of love that is open and accepting.
Is free to attend, not-for-profit and volunteer run. We ask for donations to cover our costs and support our community work.
Has a community mission. Through our Action Heroes (you!), we will be a force for good.
Is independent. We do not accept sponsorship or promote outside businesses, organizations or services.
Is here to stay. With your involvement, The Sunday Assembly will make the world a better place.
We won’t tell you how to live, but will try to help you do it as well as you can.
And remember point 1… The Sunday Assembly is a celebration of the one life we know we have.
