Caregiver Support Group — Thursday, September 19, 1:00-3:00 p.m.
If you are, have been, or anticipate being a caregiver for a loved one, you might know what a hard job it can be. Maybe you don’t know what to expect. Maybe you think you finally have a handle on something and everything changes. It’s an ever-present learning curve and a host of different emotions. From whom and what do you draw support? What resources are available to you? How do you take care of yourself?
If you are interested in being part of such a group, please come to the gathering on Thursday, Sept. 19, 1:00-3:00 p.m. This is open to the community.
The group will be facilitated by Rev. Dr. Linda Anderson. Contact her for any questions, etc. at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

People Talking About Unitarian Universalism
This video was created by the Unitarian Universalist Association to give people an introduction to Unitarian Universalism.
If you are interested in Unitarian Universalism, we hope you’ll visit us to learn more. If attending our services doesn’t fit your life, you might want to investigate the Church of the Larger Fellowship, a virtual congregation of Unitarian Universalists, with more than 3,500 members around the U.S. They hold online services on Sundays at 8 p.m., and on Mondays at 9 a.m. or 1:30 p.m.
You can find them at clfuu.org.
