Fall Faith in Action Home Study

9/2/2019

October 13-November 24
Study Groups are in process.

This 6-week lesson series will be guided by Brene Brown’s book The Gifts of Imperfection, along with a thoughtfully prepared workbook. Each week, the lesson topic for the study groups will be introduced in our Sunday Services. Together, we will find that imperfections are a critical part of our lives. We will also discover, by accepting and embracing them, that we are worthy of love and good things; a discovery that can be life changing.

In preparation for this group study program, we are seeking home hosts and facilitators. If you can help in this way, please add your name to the sign-up sheet in the hallway or email unity@unitycenter.org.
