Adult RE - "A Year to Live" by Rev Greg
Registration is closed. No late sign ups. This class is full.
This is a class for those who are tired of waiting around for their “real life” to start. It is a class that will jump start us out of our ruts, our avoidance, our fears, our unrealistic fantasies and propel us into more ac-ceptance, more focus, more intentional, more accountability and surround us with people who will love us into the people we’ve always wanted to be.

Adult RE - "Can We make Room Enough for Love?"
Come to a one-day workshop where participants will be able to explore their questions, cultural overlays, attitudes and assumptions about love, loving relationships, marriage and monogamy. How can “stand on the side of love” with people whose relationships don’t fit the societal norms? We will support people in non-mainstream relationships to feel empowered to “come out” in their communities, including their church community. Be prepared for a day of critically examining your ideas, learning from others, and maybe being exposed to a wider variety of love and loving relationships than you ever considered before. Come share your views and experiences with others in a safe, intimate atmosphere of inquiry and support.
Facilitators: Ian Dodd, Margot Page and Beth Rendeiro, UUCCSM’s OWL coordinator
Sign-up at the RE Table in Forbes Hall after both services or by emailing Ian with questions or rsvps to: ianbdodd@me.com
