BRIDGES schedule



K-3: This week we will be learning about The Gift of Mutual Caring with a story, a project, and the Wonder Box.

4-8: The 4-8 Grade class will continue to discuss and learn about another famous UU from the past, such as Josiah Wedgwood and Angus MacLean and do an activity related to that person’s life.

9-12: This year our selected curriculum is Thinking the Web, discussing a variety of topics including the Right to Die with Dignity, Drug Legalization, Abortion, Capital Punishment, Pornography and Gun Control.  We also want to use these sessions to plan other Youth Group activities.  So please attend and give us your ideas and energy.

Adult Religious Explorations-

 From March into May the RELIGIOUS EXPLORATIONS discussion group will be using the book, A Chosen Faith, to explore our liberal religious faith and specifically the six sources of it articulated in our Unitarian Universalist Association covenant.  This series should be very helpful to newcomers and long time members alike. We will be trying to make the discussions helpful and effective on a stand-alone basis.  But we do encourage participants to participate in as many of the sessions as they can to benefit from the cumulative effect of these discussions.  Copies of this book will be available at the first session.
