SpiritGroups Fall 2025 offerings starting week of September 14th

 

Are you looking for connection, community and spiritual growth?

Participate in a Unity SpiritGroup!

 

We are inviting you to participate with your friends in the Unity of Gaithersburg’s

SpiritGroups program starting the week of September 14th. SpiritGroups have

been shown to be valuable in creating community, engaging people in deep,

lasting spiritual growth, meaningful friendships and by bringing people together in

a spirit of love and support.

 

There will be two SpiritGroups:

  • Rev Dr Edith Washington-Woods will be hosting a book study on “Hell in the Hallway, Light at the Door” by Ellen Debenport. The hallway is any change or challenge which have or are happening in our lives. We will have discussions based on the reading as we move through this spiritually together. The books will be available in the bookstore soon. Please read part 1 prior to the first meeting. It will be for 5 weeks on Wednesdays, starting September 17 - October 15. The group will meet on Zoom from 6:30-8pm.

  • Carol Plummer, LUT, will be facilitating a SpiritGroup curriculum on The Five Principles: A Guide to Practical Spirituality! It will be for 6 weeks on Wednesdays, starting October 22 - November 26. The group will meet on Zoom from 6:30-8pm.
