Current and Upcoming Classes
Peacemaking Discussion
Thursday, December 3, 7-9 p.m., Conference Room
Facilitator: Jim Parrish, Intern Minister

Let’s see whether peacemaking and the UUA Statement of Conscience on Peacemaking makes sense and has meaning for us. This is a topic that definitely needs everyone at the table—youth through adult—as even the definition of peace probably changes through our lives. Bring your life lessons and definitions to the table to realize what peace might look like to our community.
Thank God for Evolution
Thursdays, January 14 through February 18, 7-9 p.m., RE Commons
Facilitator: Rev. Michael Brown

Michael Dowd’s book, Thank God for Evolution, is a thought-provoking and creative new look at the dialogue between science and religion. Along with his partner, Connie Barlow, Dowd has traveled the country the last seven years to persuade us that the evolution story has spiritual meaning for humanity. Join us to discuss his fascinating and wide-ranging ideas. Child care will be provided, but please let us know in advance. You might ask Santa to give you this book!
Conscious Aging
Third Tuesday of each month, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Conference Room
Facilitator: Helen Martin

Find the key that unlocks for each of us the tranquility, the courage, the joy that we need to move more deeply into the wholeness that we are becoming. Anyone interested is welcome.
A Course in Miracles
Sundays, 8:45-10:00 a.m., Conference Room
Facilitators: Jinny Gunnar and Suzette Boulais

We are living in a world transforming. Isn’t it exciting? Rather than seeing with anxious, fearful eyes, we can learn to look at this world through the gentle, forgiving eyes of the Great within our Mind. We can learn a vision of peace. Interested? All are welcome to visit our study group any Sunday morning.
