Fellowship Member Amanda Jones will talk about a the new discipline of “neuroaesthetics,” which is the study of how thinking and emotions are affected by contemplating art, music and other products of creativity.

Sunday services begin at 11 a.m., but join us early for coffee and conversation. Visitors and guests are always welcome at our progressive Fellowship. Services include a talk, like Amanda’s, and also music, meditation and optional opportunities to share your thoughts. And we’re done by noon.

Amanda Jones is a student of mindfulness and meditation, as taught by Thích Nhất Hahn and Plum Village. She’s one of the leaders of Buddhist studies and meditation at our Fellowship. Amanda also has more than 30 years’ experience in service-based roles—with Big Brother and Big sisters and in churches as a youth director, a small-group leader and a worship team leader. She and Amos have nine children ranging from age 10 to adult.

If you come Sunday, be prepared for something different. Unitarian Universalism is an unusual religion. For example, we don’t share a creed. Our members are Christians, Jews, Buddhists and subscribers to earth-centered traditions. Members also include humanists, agnostics, atheists and people who resist labels. What we do share are commitments to:

respect the worth and dignity of all people.

• respect the worth and dignity of all people.
• to care for the planet we share.
• to support each other in our free, responsible and unique searches for truth and meaning.

See us Sunday for details. If you’ve been unsatisfied with other religions, you might find a home here.
