Adult Education
The Adult Programming Committee helps to arrange evening courses, workshops, and other events that contribute to spiritual growth, lifelong religious learning, and a deep understanding of the world in which we live. The Committee meets with the Minister and regular receives suggestions from members and friends of the Parish. The chair of the Adult Programs Committee is Brian Donoghue.
BUILDING YOUR OWN THEOLOGY
Lucas Hergert, Intern Minister
A five-week adult religious exploration workshop, considers questions of God and faith, suffering and doubt, morality and politics. With group activities and discussions, we will engage these topics in light of our own religious journeys and our principles as Unitarian Universalists. Lucas Hergert, the intern minister at the First Parish of Needham, will facilitate. The course will be held at the First Parish of Dedham in January, Monday evenings at 7, from January 7 to February 4.
