"Breathe with Joan"
Joan Konopka taught so many of us to slow down and savor the moment through meditation. We celebrate her life, her memory, and her spirit within us. Enjoy this 3-minute meditation practice which one of her students and friends, Dana McCoy, captured and shared with us. Click here.
"Joanisms"
Inspiring thoughts by Joan shared with her many friends and followers, read by the Unitarian Meeting House of Chatham Meditation Group. In Memory of Joan Konopka. Produced by Dana McCoy. Click here.
"Tree of Hope" Community Initiative
We invite you to visit the "Tree of Hope" on our front lawn, a place to seek comfort and share messages of loving kindness. Chatham resident Vangie Collins and several volunteers initiated the idea for this dedicated community space. The community can leave tokens and expressions of hope including kindness rocks, ornaments, or heartfelt thoughts and prayers. The newly decorated tree was introduced with messages of hope and blessed by Rev. Tracy on Saturday, December 30th. Thank you to all who participated.
"Branching Out" Gathering of UUMH & Friends
Do you want to Branch Out?
Branching Out is postponed. We are in need of a coordinator/volunteer. If you are willing to coordinate a future Branching Out event, please contact Danielle Jeanloz or Sue Bauer for more information.
Small Group Gatherings
Join one of our small groups to build connections and to support and encourage each other in spiritual growth. Groups of 8 – 10 persons meet once or several times a month, morning, afternoon, or evening to encourage sharing and discussion of various topics. Discussion topics have included: right and wrong, humor, racism, fear, friendship, and spirituality. Anyone interested in joining a group may speak with the minister.
