Current Faith Formation Offerings for Adults
UU Inquirers Class
Sundays, 11:15am - 12:30pm
Inquirers is a 9-week series of adult education classes introducing participants to Unitarian Universalism in general and our church in particular. One of these sessions runs after church most Sundays in the Welcome Room (South Foyer). Each session is about 75 minutes. This class is highly recommended before becoming a member of our Church. It is a great way for newcomers to meet others and learn about UUCE, as well as a UU refresher for current members. You’re welcome to attend any or all of the session, the course will be repeated over the church year.
The current session begins March 26.

Bringing UU Values to End of Life Choices
Thursdays, March 23 - May 4 7:00pm - 8:30pm
What does it mean to bring our values to end-of-life? It is about clarifying what is really important to us in life and doing our best to act on those values when looking at death. This group is not just for the older set who see these issues coming up in the not-so-distant future but also for younger adults who may be dealing with family members who are aging or who know that even at a younger age it is vital to be prepared.
In this class we will look at many of the issues that come up when we or our loved ones reach this time of transition, from legal and paperwork tasks to what it might mean to have a good death. This group is all on-line and begins on Thursday March 23rd and meets every Thursday for 7 sessions. There will also be an in-person Death Café Sunday May 21st.

UU Elevator Speeches
Wednesdays, May 10 and 17 7:00pm - 8:30pm
UU Elevator Speech, part of our Faith Forward Path, guides participants through developing a short speech about our Unitarian Universalist faith. It is called an “elevator speech” because, on an elevator ride when someone asks you “what is Unitarian Universalism?” you only have a short time to make a meaningful statement!
Join us in the Social Hall or on Zoom.
Facilitators: Linda Krenicky, Tina DeYoe, and Ryan Doppelmayr.
