St. John's Unitarian Universalist Church

Adult Religious Exploration

(Spring 2008 Religious Education Brochure)

Adult Religious Exploration takes many forms at St. John's. Perhaps you would like to join a small group of individuals sharing opinions? Or are you more interested in earth-centered faith, or meditation? Or do you prefer a more structured series of lectures and workshops?

We have classes available in the following five areas:

Some of these require registration and others are available on a Drop-In basis. See the brochure for more details about specific classes, days and times. We have a wide offering of classes for this year.

Classes are open to members, friends, and neighbors in the community. There is no charge for the class itself, although books are required for some of the classes.
