What's First UU All About?

Exploring our Mission Statement with our ministers, religious educator and board member
This Winter and Spring we look at the implications of the bold stand the congregation took June 2009. What does true hospitality look like? What contribution do the generous heart and the reasoning mind make to our anti-oppression, multi-cultural work? Should a primary goal of First UU be racial and ethnic diversity? What on earth is privilege and how do we relinquish it?  These are important questions to ponder together as we move forward.

In February the Rev. Eric Meter will look at the connections between reason and emotion.
In March, Diversity at First UU is Rev. Mark Belletini’s topic.
In April veteran diversity/anti-oppression trainer and board member Bob Gordon  will help us explore our privileges and ways to use them to dismantle oppression.

The Healing Journey - Grief Support

Weekly meetings for 6 weeks - Starts January 25, 2010 and April 21.

When grief feels overwhelming, it is helpful to seek out the company of others who have known the pain of loss. For those times there is our congregation’s grief group, The Healing Journey. It doesn’t matter what the source of your grief or loss may be. Some come to the group after the death of a spouse or partner, others after they’ve lost a job or after their beloved pet has died. It is our sense of loss and grief that unites us, not whatever may have prompted our grief. Together we honor one another’s memories, so that none of us need feel we’re alone.

The group meets for six weeks at several times throughout the year.  Next sessions will begin on January 25, 2010 and April 21. Please contact Rev. Eric Meter if you are interested in participating at any time.
