Epicurus, the Original UU? – led by Doug Latham.
Probably no ancient Greek philosopher has been more reviled and misrepresented that Epicurus. We will explore the truth of his philosophy and how his ideas continue to have a major impact on our lives today. You may find you agree with Lark Madden’s observation that, “Epicurus was the original UU.”

Centering Prayer Group
2025-06-18 10:00 - 11:00 | LMH Room A, 26 Pleasant St, Newburyport, MA, 01950, United States
Wednesdays, May 28 – July 9, LMH Room A, 10-11am. Led by Cynthia Tolbert.
For almost 20 years Cynthia Tolbert has practiced Centering Prayer, a silent meditation of consent to the presence and action of the Divine within. In essence, contemplative prayer is simply a wordless, trusting opening of self to the Divine presence, however you name that presence, The Divine, the One Light, God, the Creator. It is not a guided meditation, you do not offer any words in prayer, you just listen and open yourself to the Divine.
Centering Prayer will be on hiatus after July 9 until September.
