| Theme Circles Registration |
|
Rev. Andre Mol, Developmental Assistant Minister for Pastoral Care and Membership
Registration is presently underway for our next season of Theme Circles! Groups will begin meeting at specific times during the third week of February, March, April, May and June to explore the themes of Trust, Journey, Wholeness, Curiosity, and Beauty.
Theme Circles consist of about eight to ten members who meet with a trained facilitator at specific monthly times to discuss, reflect, and explore the monthly spiritual theme. Participation in a Theme Circle is a wonderful way to make new friends, connect with old friends, and foster meaningful connections in our large congregation. After receiving and studying the monthly edition of
The Path
, participants choose a question or two to incorporate into their daily lives and then ultimately share that experience (or other thoughts or inspirations) when the group meets. Be aware that when you join a Theme Circle, you should make every effort to attend all meetings, although members will certainly understand your absence when you are out of town.
Sign-ups will extend online at this link through February 2. There will also be opportunities to sign up after services on January 27. Each registrant will be asked to list first, second and third choice of group times. The sooner you sign up, the more likely you will get your first choice. You'll learn your Theme Circle Group assignment in early February.
We look forward to another fabulous season of Theme Circles!

Groundhog Day Game Night
|
|
 Erika Reif, Family Ministry Assistant
Come join UU families and friends for our Groundhog Day Game Night!
We will have games out to play and you are welcome to bring a favorite, as well. And because any gathering is more fun with food, we're having a potluck too, so bring a dish to share (skip the plates and utensils - we've got that covered!)
Come for a little bit or the whole time; bring all your ages (and your inner child, too) and play an old favorite or learn a new game (10-handed solitaire, anyone?). We look forward to having you join us!
We'll have childcare available in the nursery for the littlest, with some kids' games available if they choose.
Mark your calendar:
Saturday, February 2 from 5-8 p.m. in the Community Room.

| From the Care Network Team |

HAVE A DESIRE TO HELP OTHERS IN OUR CONGREGATION BUT AREN'T QUITE SURE HOW?
One very easy thing to do is to make a meal for one of the following families. Just cooking a little extra every once in a while can be such a gift to another and a wonderful way to meet someone new.
Details of what each family likes and dislikes are included in the meal train entry. (See link below).
If you are looking for recipe ideas, check out the Care Network section of the Society website. Click "Caring and Belonging," then "Care Network Team" and then scroll down to see some delicious UU-tested recipes!
- Kathy Bonilla has been fighting a long-term health battle and she and her two granddaughters truly appreciate the help that a few meals a week can be.
- Miriam (Tammy) Strauss is dealing with long-term health issues caused by being rear-ended by a cattle truck. One meal every week is a major support to her. Hannaford, Rite Aid or gas station gift cards are also welcomed. Meals can be delivered either to her home in Essex Junction or to her place of work in South Burlington. See the meal train for more details.
HOW TO REACH
THE CARE NETWORK TEAM
Please let the Care Network Team know if you are aware of someone in the community who could use some support, whether it be a visit, a comforting prayer shawl, or a meal. The email is:
