As adherence to traditional forms of religion has declined in recent years, many have begun looking for other options to provide a sense of purpose and direction. In part because of its non-mystical and rational emphases, Stoicism has started attracting more attention. This ancient Western path is not a philosophy of esoteric knowledge or abstract subtleties. Rather, Stoicism is an approach to life that tries to answer the most important questions related to human growth and flourishing. What things are best to focus on in life? How can I effectively control my negative emotions? What is the best way to deal with adversity? How do I grow in wisdom, justice, courage, and balance? Come join us as we watch a short video on Stoic rules for daily living and then discuss this ancient but pragmatic philosophy for active people.

You Belong to the Fellowship, the Fellowship Belongs to You - and as an integral part of our Fellowship, your input is needed. One of the things that sets UUs apart from other religions is that we are covenantal vs. creedal. Yet the Committee on Ministry (COM) recently found that most of our members were unfamiliar with our covenant. When asking for input on incorporating the covenant more fully into all that we do, COM learned that many people find it too long and hard to remember. All members are invited to participate in a session to create a covenant that is meaningful and easier to remember. A process called Appreciative Inquiry will be used to build on our Fellowship’s strengths. Using Zoom, members will meet with facilitators in small groups then share what they learn with the full group. To participate, sign up for one of the following dates and times: Saturday, October 16 from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM and Sunday, October 24 after the service from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
