Ongoing Group Meetings

A Course in Miracles. Meets at 10 am every Wednesday. A modern-day expression of the demonstrations and teachings of our beloved brother Jesus. This study group reads and discusses the book, which invites us to open to a richer, deeper experience of one’s spiritual nature. The course focuses on forgiveness (letting go of thoughts and pictures in our minds that cause us to suffer) as the path to happiness, love and joy. Suggested Love Offering is $5 per class. Rm #301.

Ladies Auxiliary. Share lunch, fellowship and ideas at 11 am every second and fourth Friday of the month. Everyone is welcome. Various guest speakers present monthly. Rm #301.

The Next Generation of First Unity. Sometimes in our lives, young adults need a space and time to put aside all the stress of college or work or personal relationships and re-center ourselves. We need a place to go where we can let go of all the outer tensions and remember how joyful it is to be a young and powerful child of God in this beautiful world. And it helps if there are others like us there to share it with. And maybe food. NGU provides just that for us! Our purpose is to empower ourselves through service, prayer, and personal education to embrace our spiritual potential. Service to our church and community enriches the lives of all involved. Prayer and meditation help us throw off those pesky adult stresses and reconnect with our inner mystic child. And every so often we do stuff just to have fun and be with friends.We invite everyone from the ages of 18 to 35 to join us on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm in Rm #301.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC). This group is a forum to practice reframing how we express ourselves and how we hear others, participating in an honest dialogue where everybody’s feelings and needs can be identified and met. Meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 7 to 9 pm. As a practice group for individuals who have read or are reading the book Nonviolent Communication, by Marshall Rosenberg, our goal is to resolve conflicts by focusing our consciousness on what we are observing, feeling, needing and requesting. For more information, contact Mark Thielmann, 735-5811. Rm #200*.
