We will discuss the Preface and Chapter One of “Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy and the Trial That Riveted a Nation” by Brenda Wineapple, about the 1925 “Scopes Monkey Trial.” We will meet in the Annex,  Room B, at 9am on Sunday, December 8.  

Join others as we explore anxieties, cares, and concerns about the state of the world in a safe place, focusing on how each person is doing with the ongoing challenges faced in political, environmental, humanitarian, and global concerns. Each session will offer a positive coping skill. Anyone 18 and over is welcome for a single session or multiple sessions. Each session will be limited to 12 people. Sessions will be in person at UUCP—join us in Annex B after worship.

The annual UUCP potluck and hike are happening again this year. The hike meetup will be in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve 40th Street Parking Lot–at Shea and 40th Street, go south on 40th street into the parking lot. We will gather at 9:15 and leave promptly at 9:30 for the hike. The hike will be about 2 hours over rocky, uneven ground with some elevation involved. Please wear proper footwear, sunscreen, and a hat. Bring water and a trail snack always. This is a moderate hike for people used to hiking, perhaps difficult if you haven’t hiked in a while. Consider your own level of fitness always.

Following the hike we will gather at the home of Ed Cernek and Bonnie White for the potluck. Chicken tortilla soup and a vegan minestrone soup will be provided. Please bring a dish to share if you are able as well as your drink of choice.

You do not have to hike to come eat, you do not have to come eat to hike, but it is waaaay more fun if you do both! Please RSVP to the participation contact email for directions to the potluck.
