Explore with our Minister, Winter/Spring 2011

Rev. John Marsh and the Worship Associates work together to explore the themes for upcoming services. As part of this exploration, they hold discussion groups with congregants throughout the church year.

All members and friends are invited to attend these discussion, enjoy a stimulating discussion, and have an opportunity to share your opinion.

"COMPASSION"

Co-leaders: Rev. John March and Becky Hogue
When: Tuesday, Jan. 11, 7:15 p.m.
Where: First Unitarian, Lower level

Is compassion something that is programmed into us genetically that helps all of us prosper? Is it something we adopt in the process of becoming civilized adults despite our basic impulses? Do you have a different idea?

"DEAR GOD, IS ANYONE LISTENING?"

Co-leaders: Rev. John March and Susan Howard Lynch
When: Monday, Jan. 24, 7:30 p.m.
Where: First Unitarian, Room 5

Is there any point to prayer? Is it relevant to UUs? Why do those of us who are atheists pray for help? Is meditation a form of communion? And what about hymns?

"LETTING GO"

Co-leaders: Rev. John March, Susan Mackenzie, and Kathleen Hughes
When: Tuesday, March 1, 7:15 p.m.
Where: First Unitarian, Lounge

Do you feel the need to "let go" of something? Have you been able to "let go" of something in the past? If so,did that help?

"WHOSE TRUTH? WHAT TRUTH?"

Co-leaders: Rev. John March and Susan Howard Lynch
When: Monday, April 11, 730 p.m.
Where: First Unitarian, Room 5

What does “a free and responsible search for truth and meaning” actually mean to you? How do we go about this? What is the source of truth for you? What can we learn from sharing our subjective truths with each other?  Join us for a stimulating and spiritual discussion on "Truth." Everyone is welcome.
