Registration fee of $5 covers the costs for the Sundays’ refreshments and can be paid at the first class. (Checks can be made out to “JRUUC” with “Adult RE” in the memo line.) Fee waivers are available, as we do not want anyone to avoid a class due to financial difficulty.
All are welcome! You do not need to have attended the first three sessions in order to participate. If interested in learning more about the first three sessions you can listen to the Stewardship Team's July 2014 worship service or review the curriculum on the UUA website.
Questions we'll explore:
- How do our financial lives intersect with our religious, spiritual, and community lives?
- How can we have a relationship with earning, spending, giving, and investing that is spiritually healthy and grounded in our deepest values?
While money is a pervasive part of our day-to-day existence, it often receives little attention in our religious lives. As religious people, we have much to gain by making money a part of an intentional, covenanted and faithful conversation together.
This program helps participants understand how decisions and attitudes about money can be a more effective force for living lives of meaning and value, and for creating positive change in themselves, their congregations and groups, our society and the world. Participants' exploration of money from many angles and perspectives opens the way for money to become less troublesome and more useful as a practical, life-giving tool.
Members of the JRUUC Stewardship Team are co-coordinating this class.
