“We want to equip ourselves and the children among us for life-long spiritual journeys. We find meaningful encounters with God and each other in worship, prayer, study, dialogue in small groups, and other spiritual practices.”
From the United Parish Vision adopted by the Congregation in 2009
These words frame our approach to adult education at United Parish. We gather together as a way of strengthening our bonds to God, one another and the world, and as a way of sustaining ourselves on our respective life journeys. Bible studies, book groups, meditation classes, prayer retreats, seasonal exploration and discussion groups are just some of the ways we have engaged the ancient truths of our faith and the contemporary issues of the day. Our goal is never to find a single right answer, for short of God none exists. Rather we ask questions that are on our minds, delve deeper into the mysteries held by our hearts, and find new ways to engage our whole lives. Whether you are a scholar of the sacred or new to the faith, we invite you to participate!
