"SPIRIT
OF LIFE" — Fall Adult Education opportunity
Adult Members and
Friends are invited to participate (in collaboration with our UU Church
neighbors in Kingston in the field test of a new adult spiritual development
curriculum based upon the popular UU hymn "Spirit of Life," part of the new
“Tapestry of Faith” lifespan series.
The course meets nine times on Tuesday nights this fall, seven times at the
Duxbury church and twice in Kingston. All meetings at 7:30 p.m. The course will
be co-facilitated by Catherine and Rev. Dan King, the new minister in Kingston.
The course was written by the folks who created the popular “Evensong”
curriculum and is a wonderfully experiential way to explore your spirituality
and faith!
Each workshop is one hour in length, with an
optional half hour of additional activities. You need not attend all workshops,
but your experience will be better if you do.
