Tuesday, August 9 | Drop-In Discussion: Group Projects: The Tuckman Model.

Have you ever led or joined a committee or work team?Understanding the dynamics of group interactions can help minimize or avoid some of the conflicts and upsets that can arise as groups of folks try to join together to work on projects. We'll use the Tuckman Model as a starting point, discussing its strengths and limitations. John Lukes presents. Drop-In Discussions are virtual! We meet on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!

September 11 | Book Group: "The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story" by Nikole Hannah-Jones

There are several options for reading available which should give you a variety of choices. The hardcover or kindle is the longest and most complete version. However, there are also summaries and a New York Times article if you're pressed for time and/or want to explore other forms of discussion around the topic. One last note, the date is one week later than usual because Church Service will be held in Genesee Park on the second Sunday. Please join us August 21 at 11:50am in the Chalice Room for a lively discussion!

Drop-in discussions will resume in the Chalice Room starting at 9:15am, on Sunday, Oct. 2, and will continue to be held there on the first Sunday of each month until further notice. The initial Sunday morning discussion will be about where we want to go, what topics we want to discuss, and what ground rules we want to adopt.  The Zoom drop-in discussions on Tuesday nights will continue as they are now without interruption. Phil Ebersole is the person to talk to if you have thoughts about the future in-church discussions. Beth Ares is the person to talk to about the Tuesday evening Zoom discussions.

Need a COVID-19 test or know someone else who does, but can't find one or afford one? Come visit us! We have had a generous donation of COVID-19 tests and we want to help the community. Please email office@uuroc.org to arrange a pickup time! No questions asked!
