Sunday Assembly East Bay, 2939 Ellis Street, Berkeley, CA (2026)

The Sunday Assembly is a non-religious community that celebrates life. It's all the best bits of church, but with no doctrine, and fun pop tunes instead of hymns! The Sunday Assembly motto is live better, help often, and wonder more. We connect with our community for service projects, family fun, potlucks, and support. Sunday Assembly is a growing global movement, but this page is a hub for our local chapter located in the San Francisco East Bay.

"Live better, help often, wonder more." The motto of Sunday Assembly secular potluck. Hear great talks, sing songs, create community. The best parts of a church, without any religious dogma.
This month, we invite you to a unique experience! Instead of a speaker, Mithua will be leading a two-part program.
As we all strive to fulfill our motto of living well, there will be a presentation of a short 10-minute health-video by two real-life doctors, about three simple activities to gain health benefits in our day-to-day living.
Following the presentation Mithua would invite willing members to join her participating in one of these simple activities.
Come prepared to be a volunteer from the audience!
