Immigration as a Moral Issue
Thursdays Sept. 15 to Oct. 20, 7:00-9:00 p.m., Conference Room
Facilitators: Summer Lively

Six-week curriculum gives an overview of the complex issue of immigration. Many Americans across the political spectrum feel that our immigration system is not working. Around 11 million undocumented immigrants live and work in the U.S. without a path to citizenship. Our focus on enforcement-only policies leads to needless suffering, human rights abuses, and death. Supporting human rights for all people, especially the most vulnerable, is a core Unitarian Universalist value. Explore with us how our UU values apply to immigration. NOTE: Reading material will be available each week in the foyer and at the class.

Grief Support Group
Second Tuesdays, 7:00-9:00 p.m., Conference Room
Facilitators: Rev. Michael Brown

When we have a loss in our life, we go through grief. It is not optional, it is natural and inevitable. As we go through grief there are ways to make the process more meaningful and perhaps a little easier to bear. We will explore some of those ways and provide each other with caring support in this new group. We share stories and learn some creative ways to navigate this universal human experience. If you have has a loss, please join us.

A Course in Miracles
Sundays, 8:45-10:00 a.m., Conference Room
Facilitators: Jinny Gunnar and Suzette Boulais

The Course states that a universal theology is not possible; there exists different, yet valid, pathways to the Truth. The Course is one of those pathways. Maybe you’ve heard the Course referred to by Eckard Tolle, Marianne Williamson, or Oprah.
The way we experience and interpret the world depends on the ideas that fill our minds. If they are small, weak, superficial, and incoherent, life will appear insipid, uninteresting, petty, and chaotic. If our ideas are unlimited, strong, deep, and clear, anything is possible. Use your inner eye, develop your imagination, create the internal picture so we can collectively picture the world we desire. We are learning to walk in the world with a quiet sense of confidence, trust, and inner peace. Join us anytime.
