Adult Education Classes

The Adult Program Council provides a variety of opportunities for adults to meet and share knowledge and insight with one another.  As members and friends of Heritage Church, we accept responsibility for our own religious and spiritual growth, and we recognize that no one has a monopoly on truth, and that we all have valuable knowledge and experiences to share.  

 

Throughout the year, there will be classes offered that all adults may participate in. 

 

Please check back often for upcoming classes.

Upcoming Classes and Programs

 

 

Introduction to UUism

This program, usually led by our minister, offers a brief introduction to Unitarian Universalism.  Newcomers and visitors to the church will have the opportunity to ask questions of both the minister and lay leaders of the church, to learn how they can become more active and involved in Heritage Church.  This program is offered several times throughout the year.  Check back for next class date.

 

Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu

Sunday, October 19—November 16 9:00-10:15 a.m.

Dave Sellers will be leading this course, using the book from the well-known author, Richard Hooper.  The class will be held on October 19, 26, November 2, 9 and 16.  The course looks at common teachings from four world religions, using language from spiritual teachers on topics like finding the way, the nature of God/universal mind, the Self, Oneness, Sacredness, cutting the ties to that which holds us back, wisdom and knowledge, love and compassion, suffering, karma/justice, death/immortality, and enlightenment.  It will focus on that which connects the world religions and what they share, not what separates them.

 

Modern Shamanism

Sunday, November 2 and Sunday, November 16—6:00-7:30 p.m.

Modern Shamanism is a two part series that will be led by Frank Collins, who has eight years of training in Shamanism and a lifelong awareness. Session One is entitled “What is Shamanism” and covers origins, history and varieties of spirit based healing. Session Two offers “The Shamanic Journey,” a minds-on shamanic experience aimed at finding your power animal.

 

The Future of Food

Sunday, November 8—7:00 p.m.

The video, The Future of Food, offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade. The Future of Food examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world’s food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.

Led by Jean Crocker-Lakness.
