UPDATE — SCHEDULE CHANGE — New UU Class Continues This Sunday (18 October 2020)

NOTE — the New UU Class is not happening today (18 October 2020).  It will resume on 25 October 2020.

The “New UU” class will continue this Sunday (18 October 2020) with facilitator Bennett Upton at 1:00 PM via Zoom.

Bennett has started a new session of this course that offers insight into Unitarian Universalist history, theology, and practice as well as a deeper dive into our own congregation.

This is a great way to learn more about our faith and our church and to spend some time with other members in a small group setting.

It’s not just for newcomers and not just for those who’ve never taken it before — a refresher is always good.
