UUCT Book Club

 

The UUCT Book Club has chosen books for the next three monthly meetings. Hopefully this provides enough time to purchase/borrow and read the books.

 

January 14, 2021: “Spying on the South” by Tony Horwitz, copyright 2019.

 

“In Spying on the South, Horwitz may have found his true historical

alter-ego in Frederick Law Olmsted, the elite Northeastern adventurer

and prolific writer about the American South in the 1850s who later

became America’s great landscape artist and designer of parks all over

the United States.”

 

We meet online the 2nd Thursday of the month at 9:30am.

Listening Class

 

Does it ever feel like everyone is shouting to be heard and no one really feels understood?

 

Listening is an important part of personal health, relationships, and community - but it’s a skill many people never study or develop! Hearing each other can be even harder in this political climate and during the holiday season.

 

Beyond the current challenges, listening is a particularly important skill for UUs because when we covenant together we aspire to come from a place of respect and understanding. Do you think practicing the skill of listening could help you? Join Rev Samantha and Ministerial Intern Rylee for a deep dive introduction to listening skills.

 

This class is open to all Baja 4 congregations.

Jan 9th 10am-noon

Registration here:

Times are hard for the hungry right now, and we can help! A volunteer will be at church next Tuesday, 12/29, from 8 until 9amat our weekly sign vigil, to collect your eggs. Please boil your eggs a day or two before, chill in iced water to cool, place back in the cartons and write HB on each egg. Write "HARD BOILED" on a piece of tape and put that on the carton. DO NOT PEEL THE EGGS!

We are also collecting warm clothing, including shoes, jackets, socks, hats and gloves. In addition, clean towels, toiletries, pet food and plastic bags.

RE at Home Resources

Are you interested in "doing church" at home? I am collecting resources for at home religious education both on the Parenting Club facebook page and in a google drive. The folder is available to everyone! You'll find activities that take 5 minutes and one that take 5 days, so you're in control of how much time you spend on RE.
