Pre-school through elementary will have the fun of being together in our pre-school room and in our movie, game and activity room, room # 11, next door to the pre-school room. Older students can also participate in the Chess drop-in class.
Our Middle & High School young people will have the opportunity to take part in the Youth In Action programming planned by the students and their adult supervisors. Coordinator - Chelsea Maitland
Adult Growth and Learning Classes will begin at 7:00 and finish at 9. Registration in advance is important because of classroom size. We will again offer both drop-in classes and four or six week classes. See below for more information on classes.
Facilitated Classes - please commit to coming throughout the class duration
"Tipping Points and Unscrambling Eggs:
How to morally and practically act on Global Warming"
4 weeks continuous 2/15 - 3/7...or longer depending on interest
The ideal participant in this class wants to learn what to do about the greatest challenge our species has ever faced. We will clarify the science and the politics. NOTE: This is not a forum to debate various objections to scientific findings. (For that, see the Skeptical Science web site:
http://www.skepticalscience.com/argument.php )
"Live a Magical Life: Connecting with others"
6 weeks continuous
This is a Creative Life Coaching workshop will use visual and creative activities to define, explore and re-discover your connection with family and friends in your life. The workshop requires each individual to be open, sharing, and introspective. Due to the nature of the workshop it requires only individuals who can commit to the full 6 weeks. Each weekly session has a "limited" outside work between sessions.
Attendance all four weeks required and $10 class fee for materials.
"Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life"
6 weeks continuous
Focus on connecting to other through empathic listening rather than "being right" or "getting what you want". Create personal and professional relationships grounded in mutual respect, compassion, and emotional safety. Move beyond power struggles to cooperation and trust.
"Welcoming Congregation - Refresher Course"
6 weeks continuous
Welcoming LGBT people isn’t finished after the UUA recognizes a church as a Welcoming Congregation. Turnover and changes to congregational life happen, and the wider culture has also changed with respect to sexual orientation and gender identity. Learn and/or renew your dedication to being part of a Welcoming Congregation.
