    Exploring Spirituality as a Unitarian Universalist

  • Every Sunday morning
  • Fee: $3/session (scholarships avail.)
  • 9:00 - 10:00 Servetus Room
  • Facilitator: Sally Masteller
  • Contact: sarabea784@msn.com or 746-0675
  • This discussion group explores ideas and beliefs about spiritual topics in an environment structured to allow participants the opportunity to express their thoughts and to encourage respect for each person's views. Topics are open-ended, with no pre-conceived conclusions. The overall topic for May is Transformation. The topic for June will be announced shortly.

    Listening for the Spirit

  • Every Thursday afternoon
  • No fee
  • 1:00 pm; Awareness Room
  • Facilitator: Mary Schantz
  • Contact llgjmum@peoplepc.com or 731-8189
  • This group explores issues of religion and spirituality through contemporary short stories and essays. Open discussions examine the extent to which various authors' ideas compare to UU principles and with one's own experiences and personal values.

    Men's Group

  • Second and fourth Wed. each month
  • No fee
  • 7:00 - 9:00 Awareness Room
  • Facilitator: Paul Williams
  • Contact: paul37w@earthlink.net or 743-8220
  • The Men's Group provides an opportunity to share issues, concerns and celebrations with an empathetic group of men, allowing everyone to engage in supportive conversation about what is most central in their lives. Open to adult men of all ages.

    Women's Group (call for a facilitator)

    Why do we have an active, ongoing men's group, but no women's group? The reason is that no one has volunteered to facilitate such a group. We're seeking some with the time and interest to bring Unitarian Universalist women together once a week or once every two weeks or once a month to discuss issues of interest to them. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in pursuing, please contact Lisa McDaniel-Hutchings (lmchutch@cox.net) or 748-1551, ext. 17.

    Covenant Circles

  • Once a month at various times
  • No fee
  • Times and location vary for each group
  • Facilitators vary for each group
  • Contact: mike-greenbaum@qwestoffice.net or 326-8831
  • Small groups, up to 10 people, led by two trained facilitators meet once a month to discuss spiritually related topics in a structured format which promotes deep listening and deep sharing. All groups discuss the same topics and questions and enable participants to meet and get to know new people on a deeper level. Covenant Circles will have their last meetings fro the year in May and will reform in September.
