September 21st, 730 pm on Zoom
In this moment when we inch toward more time spent actually being together, we hope you will join us in engaging with Starting Point, a Unitarian Universalist curriculum designed to support our shared journeys as we connect and reconnect to each other. It is designed to be a useful way for new members and newcomers to deepen their relationship to our church, Unitarian Universalism, and our shared journeys. But Starting Point is not just for newcomers! It has a lot to offer long-time members as well. As our journeys take new or unexpected turns, we find ourselves looking for new kinds of companions. So if you’re a long- timer but never participated in a small group, well then Starting Point is the perfect place for you. Likewise, maybe you’re a long-timer looking to fall in love with your church and Unitarian Universalism all over again. Well then consider Starting Point your spiritual “re-starting point.” We are scheduling our inaugural session on Tuesday, September 21st at 7:30 virtually over Zoom. We will meet every other Tuesday evening, through November. The “UU path” is central to Starting Point. Inspired by the classic UU slogan, “deeds not creeds,” we present Unitarian Universalism as a particular way of journeying through the world rather than a set of beliefs to which one assents. Today, people are not so much looking for an organization to join as they are searching for companions to travel with. Their primary question is no longer “Do these people think and believe like I do?” but “Will this place provide me with tools and partners for my journey?” If this sounds interesting, fun, or useful to your own journey, please let us know soon. We will send you the Participant Packet containing some prep work for each session and more information about the program. Join us! Melissa T. Smith, Commissioned Lay Ministry Candidate plamya@ameritech.net 330-398-1157 Karen Lapidus kluure@prodigy.net 330-651-0322
