Description:
On Sunday, January 25, 2026, poets, would-be poets, and poetry lovers are invited to a poetry appreciation gathering in the Fireside Room immediately following the church service. Richard Heydt and Barbara Saxton, UUCPA’s own poets laureate, will guide us through exercises into a space where words and verse become a tool for fun and poetic appreciation. You are invited to bring an original poem or one that has inspired you. All genres and themes welcome—funny, inspiring, wise, mysterious. And if you want to attend just to listen, that’s OK, too. This Adult Learning Journey class is an invitation to explore poetry as art, as healing, and as a doorway to joy and deeper meaning.
Fourth Sunday Waffles and snacks will be available after the service. Please use a paper plate. Suggested contribution $2.
Child care will be provided.
