the group at any time without experiencing loss of continuity.

Living w/Serious Illness, 7:00pm, Classroom #5

to provide that safe space. If you are interested but are unable to
attend please contact Kathy Lind at kathy...@aol.com.

A Historical Look at Comparative World Religions, Sandy Nayak,
7:30-8:30pm, Classroom #4
This class has met twice but welcomes additional participants to
explore several major faith traditions. Instead of looking at them
geographically or individually, the class will look at the planet-
wide
religious picture at five different time periods. Let’s see who was
influencing whom in the 15th, 5th centuries BCE and the 1st, 7th, and
17th centuries CE. It is not necessary to attend all sessions. To
register contact Lillian Anderson at land...@uubelmont.org

The First Church Book Group will meet Wednesday, February 27, at 7:30
p.m. in the Library to discuss Jason Robert’s A Sense of the World:
How a Blind Man Became History’s Greatest
Traveler.
A Sense of the World tells the story of James Holman (1786-1857),
history’s famous Blind Traveler. A solitary, sightless adventurer,
Holman traveled more than 250,000 miles on five continents; he
experienced and reported on 200 distinct cultures, recording his
impressions with the use of a Noctograph. Holman’s accounts of his
adventures sold very well in England. Using numerous primary sources,
Jason Roberts tells his fascinating story, providing the reader with a
sense of Holman himself as well as the world he experienced. Please
email Anne Stuart at: ast...@uubelmont.org to confirm attendance if
you are interested in participating.

Grandparents at a Distance, Thursday, Feb. 28, 7:30pm, Library.
Being a grandparent is wonderful but there are specific challenges
when family is at a distance. Join new grandmother, Lillian Anderson
as we share experiences and support each other in our new roles.
Pictures of grandchildren are
encouraged.
