SPIRITUAL PARENTING
Do your kids ask you questions about God, the universe, or the meaning of life that you find difficult to answer? Do you find yourself yearning for spiritual deepening in your family? Minister David Johnson & Religious Education Director Alice Anacheka-Nasemann are teaming up to offer an adult religious education program utilizing the “Parents as Theologians” and “Parents as Spiritual Guides” curricula published by the Unitarian Universalist Association. Sessions will cover developmental stages related to the religious growth of children, ways to nurture spirituality in your children and family, and opportunities to practice articulating your answers to the tough theological questions posed by your youngsters.

We will meet on 5 different Tuesday evenings: Oct. 10, 17, and 24th and Nov. 14 and 21. Note, we will skip Oct. 31 and Nov. 7. A simple pizza dinner will be provided at 6:30 pm and childcare will be available. Class sessions will run from 7:30-9:00.

Although these curricula were developed with Unitarian Universalists in mind, the subject matter is broad and we would welcome participants from other faith traditions. You are encouraged to invite your friends to join us!

ARTICULATING YOUR UU FAITH
Ever struggled to tell someone what we believe at our church? David Johnson and Alice Anacheka-Nasemann will co-lead a 5 week curriculum, “Articulating Your UU Faith.” Participants will be given the opportunity to develop personal credo statements and will learn more about and practice articulating the shared Unitarian Universalist values and beliefs. This promises to be personally enriching, but also can help our church to grow. As we become better at articulating our identity, we will be more effective in welcoming and inviting others into our church community. Classes will take place on 5 Tuesday evenings, beginning February 13th from 7:00-8:30. Please note: we will not meet on March 6. A pizza dinner will be available for $1.50 a slice at 6:30. Childcare is provided for all who register in advance. There is a signup sheet in the parish hall or contact Alice at ReligiousEducation@UCMH.org.

If interested in either class, please contact our Religious Education Director, Alice Anacheka-Nasemann - ReligiousEducation@UCMH.org
