Summer Spiritual Odyssey 2018

Category: News News
Published: May 31, 2018 May 31, 2018

Sunday Morning at 9:00 a.m. Commons Room

Summer Spiritual Odyssey is one of the most interesting programs offered at ERUUF.  Each week one of our members shares their unique spiritual journey for about 25-30 minutes, and then fellow members have the chance to ask questions.  The Adult Programs Team recruits the most diverse group possible, in terms of age, gender, theology, race and ethnicity, and sexual orientation, and the power of the truth that’s shared and received is amazing.    

Odyssey 2018 begins on Sunday, June 24 and continues through the end of August.  All are welcome!
