Because we believe in learning by doing, a most important part of our religious education is participation, with all ages, in the first part of regular worship services. Then during Sunday school, young people learn and play with people their own age. Feel free to ask Sunday school teachers what they did this week. If you would like to review curriculum materials that are not online, please call Dan Harper.

On March 26, 2021, Evanston Illinois became the first American city to approve a compensation program intended to address historical racism and discrimination. It looks like several other U. S. cities, as well as some states, may follow suit. (California is one). At our next meeting. I’ll give a brief introduction to some issues related to reparations, and we’ll listen to a New York Times podcast that tells the story of Evanston’s decision. We’ll end by discussing the choices made in Evanston and exploring our own thoughts and feelings about reparations.
Zoom information for the session will be sent to the group list early in the week. If you would like to attend this session and are not subscribed to the email list, please send a request to join to: dismantlingwhitesupremacy+subscribe@uucpa.org. We welcome new attendees at any time!
Dismantling White Supremacy meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month.
All people of whatever race or background are welcome to attend any or all sessions. We call the group “White Folks . . . ” because we recognize that the work of dismantling white supremacy is for white people to do. It’s also important to have anti-racism learning spaces for white folks, where they can grapple with new ideas about racism and speak candidly about their fears and misconceptions. It can be painful for people of color to witness these conversations, so we have created this space apart from the main body of the congregation.
A twice-weekly online sacred text reading group. We meet on Saturdays, 4-5, and on Wednesdays, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome!
Using a spiritual-practice approach, in each session we will explore a different brief scriptural text in depth. The aims of the sessions are educational (learning something about the texts and traditions), spiritual/moral (discovering what the texts ask of us), and community-building (getting to know each other better). Our practice usually follows this version of Lectio Divina.
Amy will have a version of the text available to share; “bring” your own if you like. All are welcome, as are your suggestions of future texts. Group members also take turns facilitating, if they want to try that role.
Our text for Wednesday, January 26, 2022 is from the novel A Tale for the Time Being, by Ruth Ozeki. The speaker is Nao, a Japanese teenager, and Jiko is her 104-year-old great-grandmother, who is a Buddhist nun.
“Old Jiko is supercareful with her time. She does everything really really slowly, even when she’s just sitting on the veranda, looking out at the dragonflies spinning lazily around the garden pond. She says that she does everything really really slowly in order to spread time out so that she’ll have more of it and live longer, and then she laughs so that you know she is telling you a joke.”
For check-in / getting-acquainted time, and for those who are new and want a brief orientation to the practice, the room will be open ten minutes before and ten minutes after the session.

To have check-in time, or if you are new and would like a brief orientation, arrive ten minutes early. And all are welcome to stay ten minutes after as well, for more getting-acquainted time.

UUCPA will be 75 years old on April 6, 2022. A variety of celebratory activities are being planned. One of these is a series of classes about the history of UUCPA which the Adult Religious Education Committee will be providing during the first three months of 2022. They will be held via Zoom at 7:00 PM on the following Wednesday evenings and will be recorded for the church archives, as well as for the benefit of current UUCPA participants who are unable to attend at the scheduled times. Obviously, none of the specified topics can be exhaustively covered in a one-hour class, but they are being planned to provide a tantalizing overview of the past 75 years at UUCPA.

Healing the Divide is a UUCPA group that formed after the 2016 election to ask: 1) what do we not understand about others with more conservative viewpoints, and 2) what can we learn that will help us communicate even across wide differences in belief.
We meet on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month.

Are you a new Unitarian Universalist? Considering UUism? Well-acquainted with UUism, but new to UUCPA? Or none of the above, but still have a lot of questions about UUCPA? These gatherings are offered to answer them and help you find your place in the life of the congregation.
When: Second Sunday of most months, 1-2pm Where: Zoom online meeting Led by: Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern, Parish Minister
The sessions rotate through four themes–jump in in any order. Our session on February 13, 2022 is Finding Your Path At / With UUCPA: building your theology, nurturing your spirit
Upcoming months’ sessions will be:
Education and Justice: our philosophy of education and action
How Things Work / Volunteering and Membership: how we make decisions and how you can be a part of this volunteer-led community

In addition, we’ll be able to share the spiritual explorations that have brought us to this point and ask every question that’s on our minds — and even get the answers.
When in-person gatherings are easier, we will re-introduce a tour of the church buildings and grounds, with a brief history of the congregation told along the way.

While we can’t accommodate people who don’t know anything about the game, we are very welcoming to beginners and encourage players to ask questions.
