This SUNDAY in R.E. the Chalice Children talk about how our differences are interesting and special. The Roots and Shoots Friends continue their learning unit about lemurs and welcome their new mascot (“Jeff the Lemur”) to the class. During the Worship Service, Youth will meet in the library to engage a session about Responsible Leadership. Following worship, the Our Whole Lives is back after a well-deserved week off. The class will have a session on the subject of abstinence.

Children’s and Youth Religious Exploration
ADULT RELIGIOUS EXPLORATION CLASSES

Mill Creek has a vibrant and active Religious Exploration program for Adults. We believe learning and faith development do not end with childhood, but are part of a lifelong process. Adult R.E. at Mill Creek is a welcoming place to encourage one another throughout our own journey of spiritual growth.
Whether you have been a Unitarian Universalist for many years or are new to the faith, chances are you’re curious about many issues and subjects that impact your life and the lives of others. Our team is committed to designing, evaluating, and overseeing adult faith development programs at Mill Creek.
Do you have an idea or a request for an adult workshop, class, or discussion group at Mill Creek? Contact Terry at dre@uusmc.org. We are committed to serving your needs!

Listening to Our Lives
Śrāddha is a Sanskrit word that is often translated as “faith.” Perhaps more accurately, it refers to “that which we set our hearts upon.” This course is designed for you to know yourself more fully, so that you may live out more deeply those things you set your heart upon. In this small group, we will engage in the perennial religious topics: inspiration, God, community, suffering, death, spiritual practice, living our gifts, and salvation. It is intended for those who wish to engage seriously, and open-heartedly with these topics; those who seek to listen to who their lives call them to be. Rev. Greg will lead the group meeting on Monday evenings from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm: January 28; February 4, 11, 18; March 11, 18, 25; April 1, 8. Attendance at all sessions is necessary. If you know you are unable to attend for more than two sessions, we invite you to register for the course when offered again. Please contact Rev. Greg (minister@uusmc.org) if you have questions.

Waking Up White
This is a four-week workshop exploring the experience of growing up white. It will be a deep and challenging workshop, but will be framed by reflections on a common read of Debby Irving’s book, Waking Up White. Several copies will be available in the library. Mary Higgins leads the group on Sundays following worship 12:00-2:00 pm: February 10th – March 3rd, in Classroom #1.
