Celebrate with us 3rd Sundays
At Sunday Assembly, we celebrate living our lives.Â
We’re a non-religious community that meets up to enjoy each other’s company and encourage one another to do our best.
We gather as a larger group on one Sunday a month. While there’s an order to our meeting, we have no doctrine, no sermons, and no liturgy. Instead, we have speakers on wide-ranging topics, sing fun lyrics, and eat lunch together. On other days between the celebrations, we also get together to have book clubs, dine at restaurants, go on hikes, see movies, and lots more.
Stay in Touch
Our name for small groups is smoups.
The variety of smoups has grown out of our members’ interests and ideas. Anyone may propose a new one for just about any interest.
Philosophy Smoup
Lunch Bunch
Hiking Smoup
Living Better Book Club
Movie Smoup
Board Game Night (~weekly)
We look for ways to serve our community, aligned with the heart of our motto, “Help Often.”
As a community we also strive to help one another when one of our members is in need.
Please visit our Help Often page for more information.
Our main event is our monthly celebration, usually held on the third Sunday.
Come for the talks, sharing, singing together, and inspiration—stay to mingle and get to know folks like you over the potluck (whether or not you bring food)!

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.Â
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!
Join your fellow Assemblers, sing a couple of songs with them, and let’s all have an enriching time!
Danny will host. And Cecilia will share a Member's Moment.
10:30 am—Chat before the program
11:00 am—Program
12:00 pm—Potluck lunch...please bring food to share (and bringing your own reusable plate, silverware, and cup is encouraged!

Our community recharges us. Whether in our smoups or the monthly celebration, we hope to solace worries, provoke kindness, and inject a touch of transcendence into the everyday. We strive to make Sunday Assembly a place of love and compassion where—no matter what your situation—you are welcomed, accepted, and loved.
While Sunday Assembly is a growing global movement with chapters in Europe, Australia, and other parts of the United States, this site is the hub for our local East Bay chapter (in the San Francisco Bay Area).
Sunday Assembly was dreamed up in 2013 in London, England, by two comedians, and their light-hearted approach infuses all chapters.Â
Sunday Assembly hosts an annual, international conference where you can have a great time with other like-minded people from around the world. Sunday Assembly East Bay hosted in 2022, and Atlanta, Georgia hosts the next gathering.
