Groups of six to ten members meet twice a month and are guided by trained
facilitators. The meeting format includes a chalice lighting and sharing time. A
discussion topic (common to all Gruups) is introduced by a reading covering such
issues as values, ethics, religious beliefs, UU Principles, etc. Membership is
closed for a period and then opens to new members approximately every three
months. The Gruups are asked to offer a service project to the church or larger
community periodically. Additional information can be obtained by
contacting the
Quest Qruup
Steering Committee.

and safe environment of trust for each other. It is our intent to encourage
sharing of both the comfortable and uncomfortable aspects of our lives, to
accept each other and listen in a heartfelt manner at all times. We have fun,
laughter and go to lunch after our meeting. Contact: Maxine DeVries at

Blue Mountain Center of Meditation Fellowship Group
The Blue Mountain Center of Meditation meets in the Northwoods Church sanctuary
from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday. Following the Eight-Point Program
developed by Sri Eknath Easwaran, a teacher and author schooled in both Eastern
and Western traditions, this welcoming group of mediators provides spiritual
companionship for the practice of passage meditation and the allied living
disciplines. The approach is nondenominational, nonsectarian, and free from
dogma and ritual. It can be used within each person's own cultural and religious
background to relieve stress, heal relationships, release deeper resources, and
realize one's highest potential. Please contact Hallie Moore at 281-363-2407
