UU History 101

Tuesdays, April 15, 22, 29, and May 6, 13, 20;           6-7pm, Conference Room or Zoom at https://bit.ly/3sxzsci

   UU History 101, part of our Faith Forward Path, is a six-session introduction to concepts and people from our history. In this series, we approach history from the starting point of   compelling stories and personalities. We will explore the questions those people faced and make connections with our own lives and the world around us today. The overarching question is: how can history be translated into our life and spiritual practice? In addition to learning about history, we hope you will learn about yourselves. Facilitators: Jesi Laughlin, DLRE, Lindy Peterson, and Jennifer Stubbs.

   Join us on Zoom at https://bit.ly/3rthCHr as we invite guest presenters and talk about videos of current events, religion,  and politics. We aspire to use empathy, humility, curiosity, critical thinking, and compassionate communications to discuss new insights, controversy, disinformation, irrationality, and magical thinking.

Sacred Rest
   You were not just born to center your entire existence on work and labor. You were born to heal, to grow, to be of service to yourself and community, to practice, to experiment, to create, to have space, to dream, and to connect.
            ~ Tricia Hersey in Rest Is Resistance
   You deserve time to rest. Come and practice in community. In-person Sacred Rest on Feb. 9 will be in the Senior High Youth Room. Bring water, a journal, and/or blanket if you wish. On fourth Sundays (next on Feb. 23), the Central IL Religious Educators will facilitate a guided rest experience on Zoom for our four congregations in Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Peoria, and Springfield. Create a comfortable nest with a blanket or pillow, grab some water, and bring a journal if you wish. We’ll draw from the work of Tricia Hersey. To receive the link, email Jesi at DLRE@PeoriaUUChurch.org or sign up here  https://uuchurch.flocknote.com/signup/192803.
