Sunday, July 18th, the sermon at the UU Church in St. Petersburg will be “Quilting as Social Justice,” and will feature our quilt group, as presented by Kathy Stevens. The sanctuary will be decorated with some our most colorful quilts. A quilting group has already started at the St. Pete church, the idea being sparked by our having received the FL District Social Justice Award.

The Writing Group meets on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays in the Social Hall at 10:30 a.m. We are currently searching for women or men who would like to work on writing their memoirs. This is a warm and nuturing group who are interested in finding out whether they can write about the life they have lived. You are invited to visit, and perhaps discover one of the most exciting adventures you’ve ever undertaken. We laugh (a lot) and we cry (sometimes) as we share our commonalities as well as our uniqueness. Whatever is written here, stays here. For more information, contact either Jan Parenteau or Marti Kardinal at (727) 939-0724.
