Compassionate Communication: Nurturing Our Lives, Relationships, and World
Please plan to attend this workshop, led by Rev. LoraKim Joyner
Sat May 10 9:30a - 3:00p
This workshop aims to help us develop the skills of more deeply meaningful and peaceful relationships -- it's an issue at the core of what we want from congregational life.
"It's not enough to want to be compassionate, to want to stand for justice. We have to learn how. We have to learn the skills to hear each other with compassion. Cognitive brain learns quickly. Limbic brain is slow and needs a lot of practice, and it's limbic brain that needs the training." (from "Nonviolent Social Change" sermon, Jan 19)
This workshop begins the vital training in the art of Compassionate Communication.
Adults and high school youth welcome.
Registration by May 5th is required.
Child care provided.
Fee is $15.00 to cover costs (includes lunch).
Send checks, payable to Community Unitarian Church, to:
Jane Dixon,
Compassionate Communication Workshop,
468 Rosedale Avenue,
White Plains, NY 10605.

Worship Service: "Mercy vs. Justice: When Virtues Collide"
Sun May 4 -- 10:00a
If you're like me, you don't think a lot about what place you want mercifulness to have in your life. In fact, the question itself has an antiquated feel -- a concern of a bygone century. What would it mean, in the 21st century to be an exemplar of mercy? Is that a desirable thing to be?

Adult Religious Education: "Our Story, Our Faith"
Friday evenings, May 9, 16, and 30
7:30 - 9:00pm
@ The Parsonage
Come, let us talk about who we are and what it means to be Unitarian Universalist. What is this faith we share? How do we articulate it to others? Long-timers and "repeaters" (who have taken this or similar courses before) are welcome because it's a different conversation every time! And the readings packet is newly revised and expanded.
Please send me an email (minister -at- cucwp.org) to let me know you're coming. Also please pick up the packet of readings from Jane Dixon on Sunday morning. There's reading to do before the first session!
