10am Religious Exploration for kids This year our students are exploring "Timeless Themes", about stories from the Bible and how, or maybe even if, they fit into their lives as contemporary UnitarianUniversalists in America.
10am Adult Discussion Group "How did each of you acquire a philosophy of money management? What financial advice would you give to a young person?"
11am Worship Service "Diversity not Divisiveness" It's human nature to split ourselves into like minded groups, but how does that work within our principles? How do we work to have diversity within our congregation and prevent the natural division into cliques that happens in large groups? Please join Tracie Barrett as she discusses the importance of reaching across the aisle to greet our fellow UU's regardless of their faith practice.
Noon Coffee and Conversation
1:30pm EarthFamilies "Imbolc Ritual" As the rays of the sun grow stronger and, in more northern climates, the first signs of life are beginning to reappear from under the snow, we take time to celebrate Imbolc, the Goddess Brighid, and the Archtypical Maiden. Join us as we celebrate the coming of Spring and the fresh growth from the womb of Winter.
2pm hUUmanists The purpose of the hUUmanists is to give community for humanists looking for a place with like-minded individuals. If you are a humanist, want to know more about humanism, or just think this sounds like cool stuff to do, come join us!
