Nurture spirituality. Foster compassion. Engage in service.
June Theme: Happiness/Joy
Journey Group Sign-Ups Coming!
 

Stay tuned! Through Apr, May, and Jun, I've been meeting with the prospective facilitators for Journey Groups, and I'm really excited about what we'll be offering. Before the end of the month, we'll be announcing the meeting days/times and location and inviting you to pick the time/place that works best for you.

We're asking everyone to commit, so far as they reasonably can, to 10 monthly meetings, from Sep through the following Jun.

Review the Journey Group concept: CLICK HERE.

Also: if you're in town, please do plan to be at CUC on Sunday mornings through the summer. I'm in the pulpit on Jun 15 and Jun 22 -- then out of pulpit for six weeks, returning on Sun Aug 10. Our Worship Committee has lined up some interesting and enriching worship services for the Sundays I'll be away.
