This eleven-session course, led by Rev. Dr. John Buehrens — former president of the Unitarian Universalist Association and author of Understanding the Bible: An Introduction (Beacon Press) — offers a guided, unhurried path through the text for people who are curious, doubtful, or simply want a deeper foundation than “Sunday school version” they may have grown up with. No prior knowledge assumed, and no belief required — just a willingness to read closely and ask real questions.

The Nominating Committee is excited to begin our search to replace the positions on the Board of Trustees whose tenure is coming to an end in 2027. Our goal is to DEMYSTIFY the process of and encourage individuals to consider becoming a Board Member – if not during this upcoming cycle perhaps in the future.

It is that time of year when we start thinking about who we will select as our Good Neighbors for 2027.   During the month of October, we ask for nominations from our community.  The final day to submit nominations is Sunday, Nov. 1.

How do we create rituals that anchor our UU faith while expanding our spirituality? Rituals — whether quiet daily practices or shared communal moments — help us mark transitions, hold grief and joy, and stay rooted in what we value most. In this day-long retreat, we’ll explore the role ritual plays across Unitarian Universalism and other spiritual traditions, reflect on the practices already present in our own lives, and experiment with creating new rituals.

Poetry as a “Spiritual Practice” is a new class being offered by UUCB’s Adult Education/Exploration program. Facilitator,  Peter Guerrero, is an avid reader of poetry and uses poetry in his own spiritual practice. Each week participants will read and discuss a poem that they want to share with the group. By the end of the sessions, the class will have shared dozens of poems that will become the building blocks for participants to create their own personal “book.” Please email Lonnie at adulted@uucb.org to register for this free 10-week workshop. Click the heading for more details.

9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Fireside Room, in-person and on Zoom. “Poetry as a Spiritual Practice.”  Presenter, Peter Guerrero, will engage participants in discovering how poetry — (in the words of poet, George Orr) — plays a crucial role in our psychological, imaginative, and spiritual lives. Peter will also talk about his current 10-week Poetry as a Spiritual Practice workshop/class at UUCB on Tuesday afternoons.  Come to Personal Theology and be prepared to be delighted.

UUCB’s covenant names something bold: that building healthy relationships is a spiritual practice. In this session, we’ll move beyond the words of our covenant and into the practice of it. We’ll dig into questions like: How do we communicate honestly and compassionately in the middle of conflict?
