SUMMARY:*Registration Required* The Writing Well
DESCRIPTION:The Writing Well invites writing for fun and inspiration. Each of us has a deep well of creativity and writing is one way to access the treasures from that well. A few places are still open for the fall program. “Writing alone\, together\,” we’ll meet on Zoom the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays\, September 8 through November 24\, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time. \nIn The Writing Well sessions\, we work with prompts to explore whatever is seeking your expression in the moment. We meet together in a safe space\, hold one another’s confidentiality\, and (if willing) take risks to share what we discover. Consistent practice can strengthen our creativity muscles and may promote healing\, connection with self and others\, and help improve craft and accountability. Sophia D. brings her experience as lay minister\, spiritual director\, and professional writer to these informal sessions\, but promises there will be no critiquing or instruction. \nTo register for this event and receive the Zoom link\, click here.

SUMMARY:*Registration Required* Multi-Generational Book Club

Through reflection\, conversation\, and shared wisdom\, participants will explore how to navigate life’s journey with patience\, acceptance\, and resilience. All are warmly welcome\, whether you are currently experiencing a major life change or simply seeking a deeper understanding of the hope\, purpose\, and renewal that can emerge through times of transition. \n  \nSessions take place on Sundays after church from September 20 through October 25.

SUMMARY:Social Justice Kick-Off
DESCRIPTION:All congregants are invited to the hybrid Social Justice kick-off event of the new church year! There will be snacks starting at 11:45 followed by a conversation about how we can collaborate to find synergy among our groups and the needs of our wider community. During the second half of the Kick-Off event we will learn more about our UU the Vote collaboration with North Carolina Unitarians who are working to counter Christian Nationalists running for 500 offices in that state. You’ll learn about why Christian Nationalism is such a threat to democracy\, why Oregonians should care\, and how we can effectively engage folks around shared values. Join in person or online using this Zoom link.
