“Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon; and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So a man sometimes covers up the entire disc of eternity with a dollar, and quenches transcendent glories with a little shining dust.”First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg

Help yourself to the two Adult Programs brochures (New for Winter & Ongoing Groups) in the church lobby pamphlet rack. Program fees are minimal and return directly to the church budget to help offset building heating/lighting, coffee and tea, photocopying etc. Subsidies are available. All facilitators kindly volunteer their time; we're fortunate to have generous members and friends, with a range of expertise. You will also find programs listed on the church website.
Anyone with an idea for a spring program you may like to see or help organize please send us an email to share your thoughts, or contact an Adult Programs Committee co-chair: Sonya Watson at 837-5483 or Anne Belanger at 284-7012. Programs will be of general interest, and will follow our UU principles, to promote personal or spiritual growth.
