Dear Friends,
Concerts and Groups are our theme this month!
Then, on Saturday, December 18 at 7:30 pm at the UU Society, we present Harpbeat. Harpist Shelley Otis, with the soft sounds of the lever harp, and Fabio Pirozzolo, with the lively rhythms created by hand percussion, merge elements of pop and world music.
In January, we begin a new group called Silent Fire. This group will explore western spirituality. And in February, we begin a new Spiritual Journeys group, exploring all different stories of wonder, imagination, and spirit.
All the Best,
Beau
