UU Haunted Forest 2022

Saturday October 29

7:00-8:30 pm

Dare to enter the trail through the haunted forest where ghouls and goblins eagerly await your visit! Our haunted forest is specifically designed to be just the right amount of fright. Scary enough for brave kids and adults of all ages, but not so scary or gory you’ll have nightmares! Contact Natasha Greene if you are interested in helping, 309-642-2569 or nsknsk8878@gmail.com.

With less conformity and more creativity? Then, welcome to Date with Death Club, where we explore topics of aging, death, and dying. This month, our topic is “Grief: Loving & Losing, Learning & Living.” With love comes loss. With living comes dying. This session explores how grief and disenfranchised grief work and what it means in our lives. While our focus is grief, and there may be grieving people in the room, this is not a grief support group. See more details •
