Our Whole Lives, for Adults

Spirituality & Sexuality
Just as there is a connection between body and spirit, there is a connection between spirituality and sexuality. Yet, despite living in such a highly sexualized society, we rarely talk about it. Starting this month, we will explore that connection. 1stUUPB will offer it's first adult Our Whole Lives program, facilitated by Rev. McGregor and Claudia Jimenez. Join us to examine our theology about sexuality, and the role faith communities have in promoting and providing sexuality education that values inclusivity, justice, self worth and responsibility. This Sunday, led by Claudia Jimenez.

New UU Seminar Offered

First Unitarian Universalist Congregation

of the Palm Beaches 

635 Prosperity Farms Road, North Palm Beach FL 33408

  

New UU

On Saturday, March 4, we are offering a morning seminar in the Sanctuary called New UU from 9am until 12:30pm, followed by lunch with our leaders, for those who wish to stay.   This program will provide an introduction to Unitarian Universalism -- an overview of our principles, values, and history, and also to the workings of our own Congregation -- all information that can be helpful to new members, to persons contemplating membership, or even to current members who seek a better understanding of our basics.

Participants will meet others who are new to the Congregation, spend time with Rev. CJ McGregor, get to know some of our members and leaders, and have questions answered in a small group setting.  Throughout the morning we’ll also take tours of the nooks and crannies of our buildings.

Childcare will be available if you let us know at least one week in advance.  Pre-registration is required, so please notify program coordinator Dorie Maxwell at doriemaxwell@mac.com by Wednesday, March 1, if you would like to join us. When registering, please provide your name, email, phone number, and mailing address.

If you have questions about any of this or would like more information about the seminar, you can see Dorie at church or call her at 561-694-9557.

We hold these seminars twice a year— in the spring and fall, so if you’re interested, but not able (or ready) to attend on March 4, we will be offering it again on November 4.

The seminar is sponsored by the 1stUUPB Membership Committee.

The Light of Truth

Sunday, Feb 5 -- The Light of Truth, led by Rev. CJ McGregor

This month we will focus on our Congregation and it's annual pledge campaign.  One reason, among many, to support 1stUUPB is that here you will find one of the remaining places to be with fellow seekers.  The programs, the ministries, the fellowship -- all lead us to the light of truth.
