                        A Stone's Throw

The New Year is a stone's throw away. How can we let go of old grievances and feel better in this age of worry?
Can we change the way we hold our hurts? How can we transform our boulders of burdens into stones settled into a river of peace?
Worship Leader: Sangye Hawke

                        Exploring the Bible

A four-session study group led by Robert Strayer
2nd and 4th Mondays in January and February
10:00 - 11:30 am  in the Gallery at the UU Fellowship

This is a continuation of the "Exploring the Bible" study group led by Bob Strayer earlier this year. Each session looks at a passage of the Bible with a focus on how it resonates in our lives today and on its relevance to our contemporary context. This is not an academic study, but rather an exploration of how the language of the Bible speaks to us now and how it can inform our spiritual quest.  

Please email Ann at   [email protected]  if you are interested in joining the group - there is still room available.
