Adult Life Enrichment
The Adult Life Enrichment (ALE) program offers adults and teens, including people who are not members of BRUU, a slate of courses, seminars, and workshops that relate to the seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism. It is our hope that adults will find many opportunities for spiritual growth herein.
To volunteer or for details about the Monday programs, contact the ALE team through Kristin Worthington, DLRE at dre@bruu.org
ALE programs at BRUU take place on the evening of the third Monday of the month. Gather in Fellowship Hall between 6:00 – 7:00 pm for dinner. If you choose to bring food to share, even better. At 7:00 pm, we will break out into a variety of workshops which will educate and give opportunities to explore our Unitarian Universalist values.
For more information, or to suggest a workshop offering for future ALE events, please contact Kristin Worthington, Director of Lifespan Religious Education at dre@bruu.org
