Are you fairly new to North Shore Unitarians — or have you been here for a while but would like to connect more deeply with newer folks?
Join us for Deepening Connections, three gatherings built around conversation, shared experiences and getting to know one another better.
We’ll share some of the journeys that have brought us here, explore the roots of our ever-evolving spiritual tradition and congregation, and consider together what would help all of us belong with heart and thrive in spirit in this community.
Sundays, November 1, 15 & 29
12:20–1:50 pm in the Sanctuary
We hope participants will be able to attend all three gatherings.
Come with your questions, your experiences and your curiosity. We look forward to getting to know each other better!
