What is Sunday Assembly?
We are a network of secular (non-religious) communities who gather on a Sunday to celebrate this one life we know we have. There are more than 20 assemblies operating independently across the UK, Europe and America. Never been to an assembly before? Want to find out more?

What is the Sunday Assembly Glasgow Gathering?
Every year members of different Sunday Assemblies across the UK, Europe and America come together in celebration, through a programme of talks, workshops and activities, that help us live by our motto to live better, help often, and wonder more. This year, we at Sunday Assembly Glasgow are excited to host the gathering and welcome people to our incredible city.
