Weekly practice to meet on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7-8:30. This will be an opportunity to practice mindfulness meditation. While this practice is aimed at beginners, this practice is open to anyone and all are welcome to participate.
Sitting will begin between 7 and 7:30 initially, to allow new folks to receive basic instruction. Following a 20 minute sit, we will share a reading from a recognized dharma teacher with discussion to follow. While much of the practice and the terminology are rooted in Buddhist practice, this is intended to be a secular, non-religious practice. All are welcome.

Parents and Caregivers as Sexuality Educators
2022-03-16 19:00 - 20:30 | IL
1st and 3rd Wednesdays, 7:00-8:30pm, beginning January 19

Join me for twelve 90-minute sessions for parents and caregivers to explore their role as the primary sexuality educators of their elementary through teenage children. Using a small group ministry format, adults will engage with topics including Gender Identity, Relationships, Social Media, Unintended Pregnancy, and Consent. The information and attitudes that adults share with their children—intentionally or by default—carry extraordinary power. Many adults struggle to wield this power effectively and confidently. Often, their own experiences, perspectives, and worries get in the way. These sessions invite parents and caregivers to find support and courage with one another.

Everyone that has helped serve a meal at Safe Harbor has commented that it is a most satisfying experience. Contact me, Bonnie Garneau, via the church office at 309-828-0235 / office@uubn.org to discuss the process.
