McCARGO\, M.S. \nCarl has been a UU member in Springfield\, MA for 38 years and is a long-time member of the Unitarian Universalist for A Just Economic Community (UUJEC).

Finally\, he will describe his 6-part workshop which will provide strategies for beginning the healing from that past legacy of crimes against humanity. \nALLIANCE ROOM AND ZOOM\, SUNDAY MARCH 10\, 2024 AFTER THE SERVICE AT 11:30\nRefreshments will be served. \nView the flyer here.

SUMMARY:Surrender and Change
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Parisa Parsa \n \nWe often think of change as something we are responsible for initiating\, controlling\, and completing. Attending to transformation\, however\, requires an interesting relationship between active work and letting go. How can practices of surrender help us arrive at the transformation we seek?
