Milestones Circle – noon Sunday, July 28
Older adulthood is a time to take stock of one’s journey and to affirm that which is of most importance. It can be a rich time in the lives of adults – a time when we are often open to new learning and discovery, a time of deepening friendships and relationships, a time of theological reflection as we explore questions of meaning and purpose.
The Milestones Circle is an open, drop-in small group for older adults to meet, share thoughts and concerns, and receive support and friendship in a UU setting. We meet after the worship service on the fourth Sunday each month at noon in the Centering Room in the lower level of the church. Bring a brown bag lunch and help explore the spirituality in your life! Materials are available here. For more information, contact volunteer Kathie Bergman at 573-999-3938 or by email.
