“
Taoism and the Te," led by Rev. Jim Parrish.
A reflection and instruction on the tradition of Tao and Te (pronounced "Dow" and "Day").
10am Sunday Adult Religious Education (ARE) options:
ARE Discussion Group:
Meets downstairs in common room.
Topic: "Making a Difference." What does social justice mean to you? We’ll use a four-way grid to help us understand the various ways different types of people engage. Join us.
Meditation
will be held at 10:00, followed by a short reading and discussion between 10:30-
10:45. It doesnʼt matter what type of meditation you do, or if you have ever meditated before, you
are welcome to come meditate in the UUFF Annex building (across Storer from UUFF in the west-
nearest Storer-side of the annex). ALL ARE WELCOME. Enter through the front door.
10am
RE for kids 5+ continues today!
All are invited to meet in
room 4 downstairs
at 10am for Religious Exploration, before rejoining adults for the 11 o’clock service.
This week, we continue to examine what it means to be a people of RESILIENCE. We learn to remember how humor helps us step away from our focus on pain and puts things into perspective.
The new 10am Class RE for youth ages 11+ continues today!
Meet at 10am in classroom 3 downstairs (between the OWL class room and the elementary CRE classroom).
Eva Ouma will help facilitate this week's class.
Group still needs a few additional volunteers to help teach on a rotating schedule. If you are interested in teaching, or have any additional questions about the class, please contact Leanda Gavin (
lmshelby@gmail.com
) or Joanna Person-Michener (

gwilkes@farmcards.org
) if you have any questions about this important social justice opportunity.
