What we’re about
Sunday Assembly is a non-religious congregation that celebrates life.
Our events on the second Sunday of each month are generally 75 minutes filled with inspirational talks, poetry and art, donuts and coffee, and more... followed by a potluck!
We are inclusive - everyone is welcome, regardless of their beliefs (or lack thereof), their sexual orientation, their age, gender, or politics.
Our events are free for all to attend, though donations are appreciated. We do not accept sponsorships. Childcare is provided.
Our Motto: Live better Help often Wonder more.

## Get Dirty for a Good Cause
From California Freethought Day:
On Saturday, September 20th, we have this great opportunity to join with other local secular groups and do some environmental work that benefits our community. Join the secular community, statewide, as we clean our lakes, beaches, rivers, and parks through California's Coastal Cleanup program. After the cleanup, California Freethought Day has a treat for us: they are offering a $10 per person (with limitations) reimbursement for brunch! We can all gather to eat and chat after all that work!
Sunday Assembly Sacramento is participating and folks from other groups, such as Black Humanists and Non-Believers, Atheists and Other Freethinkers, and Reason Center will join us. Our Help Often group will be there to lead us. We will gather at the Reason Center at 8:30 am and walk over or carpool to the Ethan Way River Access adjacent to Cal Expo to get the introduction at 9:00 am.
You can sign the waiver for the hosting organization here or sign the paper on the day of the event. There is information there, but if it is confusing, just come on the 20th and you can sign there.

California Freethought DaySee you there!
- California Freethought Day 2025California State Capitol Building, Sacramento, CA
California Freethought Day combines the fun and atmosphere of a fair with the education and activism of a conference. It's a festival of freethought.
Our theme this year is “One Nation, Indivisible: Liberty and Justice for All” as we explore the current administration’s growing attack on marginalized communities and the rise of Christian Nationalism.
Join us at our free event to celebrate freedom of speech and thought, civic engagement, enthusiasm for science, social justice, and the separation of church and state.
Our event will be outdoors at the California State Capitol Building and livestreamed via Facebook, YouTube, and X.
