UUC Adult Learning Program
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the UUC Adult Learning Program for 2008-2009! Continuing education is a wonderful way to make connections with people of like interests, as well as to learn. The Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater nurture spiritual and intellectual growth through a variety of events and activities, providing a forum for seekers who wish to grow in a caring, spiritual, Unitarian Universalist community.
Classes, led by our ministers and by experienced laity, are open to members and friends of the congregation, and to the wider community. Register on-line by clicking on the 'Register Here' link next to each class description, or by phoning the church office at (727) 531-7704.
If you need childcare, please let me know ahead of time. If the cost of a course is a problem, contact me. Also contact me, or Rev. Abhi Janamanchi, or any member of the Adult Education Committee if you have ideas for future classes.
Warm blessings,
Millie
