Every Monday we offer an hour of mindfulness meditation. This Buddhist-based practice begins with brief instruction followed by two sessions of sitting meditation. We break the hour up with a session of stretching and walking meditation. Chairs or cushions are available. You can join in-person in the church Library or online using Zoom.
If you have any questions you can email Susan at: semiddle@iu.edu

Knowing the basics of social class can help us meet the current moment and mobilize for change.

Participants can expect a presentation about social class in the United States by Indiana University Professor Quentin Wheeler-Bell, whose expertise includes topics such as neoliberalism, urban poverty, and social justice education, and UUCB member and PhD student Kristin Schumacher. Q&A and discussion will follow the presentation. Individuals should sign up to challenge their views on class and to understand their own class position.

A weekly Young Adult hangout where there's a different "Thing" every week. Work on your arts and crafts, discuss books and movies, play a game or just enjoy the company.

A weekly drop-in group to share concerns and prayers on our hearts. The group is led by the minister or one of the members. Each week, there is time for silence, reflection, and sharing.
