About  SEA: Spiritual Exploration for Adults

​(SEA) provides opportunities for adults in the church to deepen and explore their faith. SEA provides high quality programs on primarily Thursday evenings (but also at other times) which focus on spiritual development in three areas: theology, spiritual practice and ethics.  Programs are compelling, high quality, of general interest and engage participants in personal spiritual development.  Programs also serve to integrate participants into deeper relationship in the church community.  The Spiritual Exploration for Adults Ministry is responsible for the SEA program with staff support from the Director of Lifespan Religious Education.  Our work is not just a committee but truly a ministry at our church.    Through our programming we hope to help our members:  Develop sustainable, fulfilling spiritual practices,  Deepen our spirituality,  Strengthen and build relationships with each other,  Build knowledge about different religions,  Transform how people see the world. ​ Our subject  areas include: 1. Theology/Spiritual Practice, 2. World Religions (to include UU, Christianity and Humanism/Atheism, 3. The Spirituality of Eco and Social Justice, 4. Personal Growth and Development, and 5.  Ethics and Philosophy.
Preparing End of Life Documents
Date: April 5 in the Living Room
Time: 10-11:30am
Facilitator: Nancy Mayer


End of Life planning can be an emotional process. Preparing End of Life documents can provide you with peace of mind that you have made the process easier for the ones you care the most about. This class will describe the needed documents and what information you need for completing them. I will cover Wills/Trusts, Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Power of Attorney, and Patient Authorization/HIPAA Authorization. If you don’t have these documents, the government has default provisions and complex, time consuming Court procedures that will not match your desires and may not provide you with help as quickly as you need it.

Doorways: Exploring Aging and End of Life Issues
Dates: Sat, 3/15 & Sat, 3/29 in the Gathering Room
Time: 10:30-12:00
Facilitator: Rev Carolyn Price 


Increasingly, and at younger ages than ever before, people are choosing to reflect upon what it means to grow old(er) and to ask themselves what a “good end” might look like. This two-session facilitated discussion group will allow participants to explore this theme within the context of each person’s experience, philosophy, and spirituality. While not required, familiarity with Being Mortal by Atul Gawande or With the End in Mind: How to Live and Die Well by Kathryn Mannix or similar books/videos/podcasts will be helpful. Any questions, email Rev. Carolyn at [email protected].  Limit 12
