Circle Round for Healing:
Honoring Suicide Loss
June 29, 6 pm
Our congregation was shaken when long-time member Sue Morgan died by suicide in downtown Wauwatosa last year. As we approach the anniversary of that passing, many still hold pain, loss, and trauma from her death as well as feelings around suicide. This will be a healing circle where anyone can join us for a covenanted ritual. We will have an opportunity to share where we are today, how we have or have not healed, and to lay down our thoughts in a sacred ring of love.

With the sad news of Dennis Wanless' passing, the Meditation Group has changed their meeting location:
The meditation group will meet at UUCW every Wednesday at 10 AM for 45 minutes (less if you so desire). If weather allows we can meditate outside near the west entrance and parking lot ( please bring a lawn chair).
If the weather is inclement we will meditate in the sanctuary. Please consider bringing a friend.
