Events of interest

Here we promote events such as gatherings and classes and meetings that the UUCF does not directly sponsor but which are of wide interest to our members and supporters. We especially like to help promote progressive Christian events being led by our members. To suggest an event to be included, please send an email to Rev. Ron Robinson at (executivedirector@uuchristian.org) with all the information we would need to promote it. For those selected, we will also help promote through our online communities.

  The story of a rich man who loses everything and then must live to deal with his losses is as old as the Pharaohs of Egypt and as new as tomorrow's headlines. On the four Monday evenings in March and the first Monday evening in April from 7:30. to 9 p.m. in Concord, MA at First Parish. Carl Scovel, minister emeritus of King's Chapel in Boston, will lead a study of Western culture's classic retelling of this ancient story in the book of Job.
  
  "We will study its precursors, examine the text and the explanations which Job's four "comforters" bring him as well as Job's reply, and then God's response to all of them. We will study Christian and Jewish  interpretations of the book, and contemporary retellings of it in story and drama. Finally, we will consider our own and our family's and friend's responses to unearned suffering."
