Science & Spirituality - Meetings are held at 7 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month at the conference room of the Church.
Edwin Taylor & Ken Bernstein
We are a group engaged in exchanging thoughts on ideas in science and their influence on our spiritual lives. Each meeting is (usually) independent of previous meetings; therefore, one may join the group at any time without experiencing loss of continuity. The subject readings for each meeting will be agreed upon at the previous meeting and be posted in the Unitarian and sent by e-mail to all who request them. For more information contact Edwin at eta...@uubelmont.org, 781-646-7775. To register contact Ken at klber...@uubelmont.org, 617-489-3118

Caring for Older Adults - 4th Sundays, 7pm, Library
Deborah Blumberg and Miriam Baker
Many people are juggling jobs, families and their parents’ or other family members’ increasing medical needs, frequent emergencies and ongoing need for care. How do we cope with the needs of our loved ones and find some balance in our own lives? What do we need to learn as we take on this task? How do we find information and community? If you find yourself in this position, you are welcome at this group for discussion and support.
For more information or to register, please contact Deborah at dBlu...@uubelmont.org
