OWL Classes
OWL classes will happen on Sunday mornings because Wed evenings do not work out for several families. The OWL class will begin Sun Jan 22, 10:30am-noon, and will continue weekly at that time until the end of the school year. We will not have class on Easter, Mothers Day, & perhaps during Spring Break (schedule to be discussed with parents during OWL orientation).
Adult RE Class!
Building Your Own Theology (BYOT)
Sunday afternoons, 1pm-2pm (8 workshop series)
Dates: Feb 5, Feb 19, Mar 5, Mar 19, April 2, April 16, Apr 30, May 7
Facilitated by: Christina Strong, DLRE and Denise Allain
Unitarian Universalists are accustomed to speaking out and sharing their diverse views, but sometimes we find it difficult to say just what our individual thologies are. This class will explore participants' evolving individual and collective theological perspectives by reflecting on personal religious experiences, raising questions of ultimate reality, ethos, religious meaning, human nature, the sacred or holy, good and evil, suffering, community, authority, death, immortality and our UU Principles. The aim of the course is to come to a deeper understanding of "where we stand" as individuals and as a community of seekers. Participants will develop their personal credo through writing-based reflection and theological conversation.
Enrollment: Minimum 5, Maximum 12. Slots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, with the minimum of 5 needed by Feb 3 to make this a go. To register, please drop an email to admin@firstuuomaha.org with subject line "BYOT" or call the church office during business hours. For questions or to see the syllabus, please contact Christina Strong (dre@firstuuomaha.org). Childcare may be requested via childcare@firstuuomaha.org.
