A Midwinter God, Encountering the Divine in Seasons of Darkness
By: Christine Valters Paintner
The winter is the perfect time to sink into a time of reading, writing, and deep conversation with others on topics of darkness and unknowing. This is not depressing work! We will consider where we are in the world, where God meets us, and use creative ways to consider questions that might be transformative.
There will be two opportunities to participate. The first is an in-person meeting on Mondays at UUMC from noon until 1 p.m. (welcome to bring a brown bag lunch), and the second is a Zoom group on Thursdays at noon CST. Groups will begin the week of January 13th and conclude the week of February 17th. The book is available on Amazon and with other book retailers. This study is facilitated by Lisa Frost, Certified Spiritual Director.
Register by clicking the button below, visiting UUMC on the Church Center App, or emailing Lisa Frost at lisajfrost@gmail.com with your preferred day. There is no cost for the study.
