Schedule of Activities
Adult Enhancement Classes:
Sermon Discussion
Group:
On selected
Sundays, Rev. Ritchie welcomes any who wish to pursue the topic of that
morning's worship service through conversation to join her at 11:45 in the
parlor of Nielsen House.
Currently
scheduled for discussion:
Jan. 13 "God
Wars." How many books have been published in the last year trying to
prove—or deny—the existence of God?
We look at what understanding Unitarian Universalism might offer to an
unhealthy religious culture.
Feb. 10 "The
Half Life of Sin"
Does what you
put out in the universe really come
back to you? How the principle of
karma, like Universalism, is more about forgiveness than punishment.
March 9 "The Parables of Jesus: Jesus as
Teacher." As Unitarian Universalists, it is part of our tradition to
revere Jesus as a teacher. Yet Jesus' disciples were constantly confused,
and the parables are just plain hard to understand... So....just what kind
of teacher was Jesus?
April 6 "Follow Me." How can we know when to
lead, when to follow, and when to disobey?
Friendly Yoga for Everyone! ALL are welcome!
Yoga Classes at North UU
Congregation
Certified Yoga instructor Holly Jones will offer an
8-week session of yoga classes
on Tuesday evenings
beginning January 8 through March 4 from 7:00-8:15pm at North
Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 1574 Franklin St., in Lewis
Center. The Spring yoga eight week session will run from March
11-April 29. The
class is geared for those with little to no yoga experience and suitable for all
ages and levels of fitness.
Emphasis will be on safe, gentle stretching with the goals of increasing
flexibility, strength, balance and range of motion. Registration is $40 for all 8 classes,
or attendees can pay $8.00 at the door for individual sessions. For more information and to register,
contact Jeri Dill at the church office at 740-657-8081, ext. 1 or nuucjdill@aol.com.
Monthly Activities:
Brown Bag Books
Brown Bag Books meets the third Wednesday of each month
at 12:30 p.m. Participants take turns choosing the books to read.
Anyone who loves to read, to think and express an opinion or would like to
listen is invited to stop in and eat lunch with us as we share an enjoyable
discussion.
Covenant Groups
Groups of up to ten people meet a minimum of once a
month at members' homes or at the church. All groups are led by trained
facilitators under the ultimate direction of the minister and use a regular
format. A typical session includes opening words, a personal check-in,
topic exploration and discussion, personal reactions, and closing words.
Covenant Groups will always be open to new members, and are organized on the
basis of time availability only. Groups will dissolve and re-form after
nine months' time.
Complete a registration form available at the church and
return it by October 16, 2006 for the initial formation of groups. Groups
will be assigned and begin meeting in November. New members are welcome at
any point in the year.
Spirituality Group
Exploration of the spiritual aspects of our lives has
been the focus of NUUC's ongoing spirituality group. During the 90 minute
meetings, we open with a chalice lighting and reading, then discuss such topics
as whether or not it is possible to forgive ourselves and others; where we find
meaning as spiritual beings; or what led each of us to choose our spiritual
paths. The meeting is concluded with a time to check in with each
other. The group has been meeting on the first and third Thursday evening
of the month for over two years, with no plans to disband. New members
would be most welcome.
