Open Small Group
Thursday, March 16, at 7:00 PM in Annex B

| Small Group Ministry is an ideal way to connect to others and tend to your heart and spirit at UUCP. Life can feel like a frenzied struggle against a materialistic world, which leaves us feeling disconnected from our deepest selves and without the energy to reach out in love and service to others. They follow the monthly worship themes and offer a way to engage the themes in your daily life and grow and learn with a group while sharing your own story, insights and learnings. Check out our Open Drop-In group Thursday, March 16, to see what a small group is like. For more info visit the link below. |
Women's Ritual
Thursday, March 16, at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary
