9 a.m. – Forum Discussion Group – Lower Level-Forum Room/Library
The Forum Discussion Group is an adult issues-and-answers discussion program that meets from 9 to 10 a.m. most Sundays from September through May.
On Feb. 2, Steve Scott, UUCC member and local attorney for almost 47 years, will speak on “Estate Planning.” This is a presentation by the Water Bearers Society, the group encouraging inclusion of the church in estate plans. Steve will discuss the elements of estate planning, and the benefits of putting even the most basic and simple estate plan in place. He will answer questions such as:
-
- Do I really NEED a will?
- What is a health care proxy?
- How often should I review my plans?
9 a.m. – Mindfulness Meditation – Fire Circle or Lower Level-Centering Room
Mindfulness Meditation takes place at 9 a.m. every Sunday. Beginners and experienced meditators are welcome. If the outside temperature is 55° F. or higher and weather permits, meditation will take place at the Fire Circle behind the church. Otherwise, meditation will be in the Lower Level-Centering Room. For more information, email Anna Lingo or Susan Pereira.

Please bring a main dish, side dish or dessert if you are able, and please stay if you can’t because there’s always plenty of food to go around. To accommodate those with dietary restrictions, please provide a complete ingredient list for your food contribution and indicate whether it is dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, vegan and/or vegetarian. Go here for a fillable PDF form for your contribution.
Also, please help set up the Sanctuary for the potluck and stay after to help clean up and return the Sanctuary to normal order. Many hands make light work!
Noon – Junior High OWL – Lower Level
7th-9th graders will gather for a session of Our Whole Lives (OWL), our comprehensive and inclusive sexuality education program. Led by trained facilitators, this program goes well beyond biology and covers topics such as gender identity, sexual orientation, consent, health relationships, body image, and more. The program fosters an open dialog where we see exploration of our sexuality as a healthy and holy aspect of what it means to be human.
1:30 p.m. – Social Action Team
Our Social Action Team meets at 1:30 p.m. on the first Sunday each month via Zoom. All are welcome to participate. For more information, email the team’s chair, Fred Young.
