Adult Religious Education
Unitarian Universalists believe that education is a lifelong process. In addition to the religious education program for children and youth, The Fellowship offers a variety of options for adults wishing to stretch both mind and body in an atmosphere of mutual respect, a free exchange of ideas, and fun.
The Seeker’s Forum, a topical discussion and book study group, will resume meeting September 14th from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Darwin Room (the room next to the kitchen, in the main building). The book under discussion in September will be Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth, led by UUFT member Jim Schwartz.
A Hatha Yoga group meets from 5:30 to 6:20 every Thursday, offering a great way to stretch and reduce stress. All ages are welcome to participate (there is no child care). There is no class fee, though sometimes a free will offering is made to offset utility costs. Drop in any Thursday, or contact Bill Lucero, lucerolb@cox.net.
Three Covenant Groups begin in September. Each group of 8-10 people will focus on making meaningful connections in a safe and respectful setting. Two of the groups will engage in discussions on wide ranging topics (Death and Dying, Curiosity, Habits & Rote, Bitterness, and Atheism are but a few of the suggested topics covered in the group guide). One group will meet Tuesday mornings, and another on Tuesday evenings. A third Covenant Group option, meeting for 6 Wednesday evening sessions throughout the fall, is a women’s ritual group. For information on Covenant Groups, contact Judy Sasser, Director of LifeSpan Religious Education, dlre@uuft.org.
Also this fall, UUFT member Don Jacobs will lead a "Building Your Own Theology" class. Contact Don at jakelnd1@aol.com. And, trained facilitators will lead a session of the adult version of the Our Whole Lives sexuality education class (this pilot session of adult OWL will be limited to 12 members of UUFT). To find out more about OWL, contact Judy Sasser, Director of LifeSpan Religious Education, dlre@uuft.org.
