Adult
Learning and Enrichment
Learning isn't just for our
children. As Unitarian Universalists, we know that. As we
progress with crafting the mission statement of the UFWC we
will be offering opportunities for adults to enrich
themselves on their own spiritual journey.

Has one of your children asked you what God is? Did you
have an answer? What about death? What about soul or
spirit? It's hard to articulate such huge concepts to our
fellow adults let alone to a child. Here is an opportunity
to explore these words and topics and become more
comfortable with your own understandings of the "big"
things of life.
Pam Baxter and Cindy Heck will be leading the sessions in
the Fireplace room from 7-9 pm
Reading
Sacred Texts
Wednesday afternoons come join me in the minister's office
to read and try to understand a variety of texts that hold
sacred significance to various faith traditions. We will be
reading parts of the Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te
Ching, and others. 11 am in the minister's office. Please
be sure to get a parking pass from the lobby and return
them when finished. Bring a bag lunch if you wish.
RSVP
PLEASE!

translation you wish come prepared with one or two of the

too. We will discuss them on Oct. 22.
For an interesting take on Taoism, try the Tao of Pooh by
Benjamin Hoff. Some information can be found
