| • Church to Help Individuals Develop a Personal Belief System - Beginning January 9, the Rev. Ricky Hoyt from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Santa Clarita, will lead an eight-week program exploring the foundational questions of spiritual beliefs and helping participants develop their own answers. This free class will meet at a church member's home on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM, with the concluding session on February 27. The program is open to any adult searching for answers. To enroll, call 661-254-7866 or e-mail Rev. Hoyt at Minister@uuofscv.org. The development of a personal theology is essential to Unitarian Universalists (UUs). Open to all beliefs that support their values, individual UUs decide for themselves what they believe about such topics as God, human nature, ethics and the purpose of life. "What I Believe" helps participants tackle these tough questions through sharing, resources and group discussion. At the conclusion of the program, participants develop written statements describing their personal beliefs. Time: 7:00 PM Website: www.UUofSCV.org |
