THIS PRESENTATION IS CANCELED DUE TO ILLNESS. Thursday, December 18, LMH Main Room, 1-2:30pm. Aging Well Spiritually Focusing on lessons learned through their hospice and chaplaincy work, Rev. Jane Tuohy and Nancy Kidd invite you to consider ways to strengthen your spiritual capacities. These capacities are what support us as we face our own mortality and that of our beloveds. They will explore the concepts of intention, attitude, and resilience, and specific qualities we can develop through “spiritual training.” There will be time for reflection as well as dialogue with one another. Nancy Kidd is an FRSUU member and licensed independent clinical social worker. Rev. Jane Tuohy is an FRSUU member who offers interfaith programming here at church and has focused on interfaith exploration of mysticism and contemplative practices. Third Thursdays, LMH Nursery/Conf Room, 9:30-10:30am. A monthly, somewhat casual Parish Friends morning meeting - bring your own tea or coffee. An opportunity to meet other Parish Friends, ask questions, and brainstorm. If interested in simply learning more about Parish Friends, this would be a great forum. We realize mornings don’t work for everyone. If you are wanting to attend, but not able to, let Susan Ricker know at parishfriends@frsuu.org or use her personal contact information in the FRSUU Realm directory. Meets Thursdays (previously on Tuesdays) on Zoom at 11am. The FRSUU Poetry Group is open to all who enjoy reading or listening to poetry.
