Milestones – Sharing Our Lives Now

Meetings at noon on every fourth Sunday throughout the year

The what, who and why of the Milestones Circle:

Retirement is a time to focus on yourself, pursue your passions, build a new routine, and even a new identity. So do the things you love, spend time with friends and family, take up new hobbies, and make new friends. Doing what makes you happy is key to a healthy, fulfilling retirement with a sense of purpose.

If you are interested in expanding your connections with UU community and are open to learning from others, the Milestones Circle welcomes you!  The Milestones Circle is an open, drop-in small group for older adults who are retired or considering retirement.  Come, meet, share thoughts and concerns, and receive support and friendship in a UU setting.

We meet at noon on the fourth Sunday each month in the Forum Room/Library, lower level of the church.  Bring a brown bag lunch if you wish and explore the spirituality in your life!

More information about the Milestones Circle can be found on the church website or email Kathie Bergman at Milestones@uucomo.org for more details.
