Craig Hunt & Bevin Maguire The Road to Shamatha: Tibetan Spirits There is a Tibetan saying: "Wherever you feel at home, you are at home." Bevin Maguire and Craig Hunt reflect on their journey as UU parents traveling in Tibet with their three daughters. While standing in front of a Tibetan Shamatha painting of a monk's transformation, the Buddhist powers of study, contemplation, memory, comprehension, diligence, and perfection became very clear. Craig and Bevin will share about their journey and living in Asia for three years and what they learned about parenting, spiritual growth, and the meaning of "home." Bevin Maguire and her husband, Craig Hunt, have been members of CUUC since 1995. Bevin was born and raised in Brooklyn and attended NYU. Craig was born and raised in Indiana and studied architecture at Tulane. They met at fellow CUUC member Creighton Cray's birthday party in Brooklyn in 1989. In 1995, Bevin joined IBM and they moved to Westchester and joined CUUC. Each of their children were dedicated and participated in the religious education program. In 2012, IBM assigned Bevin to Shanghai, China, where she, Craig and their three teenage daughters, Neassa, Sinead and Aine, lived for nearly three years. While living in China they traveled extensively throughout Asia. Once Bevin's assignment was complete the family returned to White Plains. Bevin remains with IBM and Craig is an architect in private practice.
July 26 at 11:30 Dr. Cornel West 
Join us to view the video of the keynote address from the UU General Assembly. Bagels and snacks will be provided.
Cornel West is a prominent and provocative democratic intellectual. He has recently been deeply involved in the Black Lives Matter protests. He has a passion to communicate in writings and orations, through music and film, and in solidarity with groups and faith communities committed to justice in order to keep alive the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.--a legacy of telling the truth and bearing witness to love and justice.

Sharing Sunday Offerings
Summer: Kiva
Each month we share 50% of our plate offerings with outside organizations in need. Kiva connects people through lending to alleviate poverty. The CUC 5th-6th grade class created a Kiva account and has lent $300 in ten different countries. As the loans are paid back, they will be able to re-lend the money.
See Rev. Garmon if you have an idea for a future monthly plate share. |
