An Introduction to the Unitarian Universalist Journey
Starting Point is a four-part series offers those considering Unitarian Universalism as a spiritual path the opportunity to experience UUism through a small group experience. You will learn about our faith tradition, explore your own spiritual journey, and connect with others who are also seeking a spiritual home or faith. Longtime members and friends seeking a small group experience are also welcome. All participants begin with session one, and all four sessions will be completed by a person seeking to proceed to membership. You may attend different sessions during the rounds throughout the year after completing session one. Sessions are regularly offered in the fall, winter, and spring.
Session 1: Your Journey – Sharing Our Stories and Spiritual Roadmaps
Session 2: The Unitarian Universalist Journey and the Journey of our Congregation
Session 3: Our Journey Together – The Three Paths of Unitarian Universalism, Part 1
Session 4: The Three Paths, Part 2 and Finding Your Journey Group
