What's happening at the UUCG?
Feb. 27th Mar. 5th, 2018 Saturday, March 3rd - Search Committee So far, we have received 3 applications for the potential position of part-time minister with UUCG. The search committee will be meeting. March 3rd, at 10:30 am - 11:30 am to review the applications and finalize the interview process. If you have any questions, please contact Julie Miller at jmilleruucg@gmail.com. Sunday, March 4th- “Taoism & The I Ching" Rev. Barry Bloom Wisdom and insight about the world around us has been shared since humans could talk. One of the earliest expressions that has come down to us is contained within Taoism and the I Ching. Dating to at least 26 centuries ago these writings/practices of Confucius, Lao Tze, and others have deepened our understanding of how we fit in nature as much as indigenous spiritual practices. As a matter of fact, it formed the basis for the spirituality of the Lakota and many other native tribes. What they did left us a guide for a balance life.
