SUMMARY:Service: If I Had a Second Chance
DESCRIPTION:The second time you align your bike chain (or host a potluck\, or get a puppy) can go more smoothly than the first; but sometimes in life your first try is all you get. Today\, in honour of Groundhog Day\, we explore our relationship with second chances. A special welcome to visitors coming as part of Halifax’s Interfaith Harmony Week. Stay afterwards for a tea blend and a discussion of UU parenting. Babysitting is available.

SUMMARY:UU Parenting Discussion
DESCRIPTION:What is “Unitarian Parenting” (if there is such a thing)? What does this look like or mean to you? Were you raised in a Unitarian family or are you raising a family in a “Unitarian way” (again\, if there is such a thing). If so what are some examples of this and what stands out to you as being the benefits of this style of parenting? \nCo-Led by Mary-Frances Lynch and Ben Robins

SUMMARY:The Creative Impulse
DESCRIPTION:Cats are curious\, dolphins are friendly\, and humans are driven to create. Not everyone\, not always\, but still the impulse is there\, it’s wired in. Today we explore the creative impulse in the human condition and perhaps in the universe itself. This service launches a series on the blossoming of spring\, and on this Easter Sunday we also celebrate maple communion.
