. The original purpose of the group has been described this way: Are you a Unitarian Universalist who appreciates a relationship with God? Would you welcome the opportunity to be with others who find meaning in an understanding of God or beauty in the language of the mystics? Rev. Kathy is interested in bringing together people who might be interested in a group to explore this relationship, meaning, and beauty.
At our first gathering, we will: • hear why each person is interested in the group. • hear about the group at the congregation I used to serve and how it worked. • discuss other possibilities & ideas. • choose a tentative plan and schedule for moving forward. The group will evolve to meet the needs of the participants, so bring your own perspective and an open mind, and we'll see where this journey leads us.
