The Hope Conundrum: Empowerment or Antitode to Despair? 


Please join us in welcoming guest speaker Stephanie Roberg-Lopez as she examines the definition and functions of hope, and try to figure out if it is gentle self-delusion or a tool for creating emotional and mental strength.


Stephanie Roberg-Lopez has taught Anthropology and Archaeology at Dutchess Community College for the past 35 years as well as practicing as a consulting Archaeologist throughout the northeast.  She continues to travel the world with her husband, and spends part of the year at their home in Ecuador.  She also loves and dotes on her Himalayan cats.

RE -CONNECTIONS


Hello, families!


It's that time of year again when the Fellowship celebrates the winter holidays! 


On December 7, following the service, we will have our annual holiday craft-making festivals - candle dipping, card-making, cookie/cupcake decorating, wreath making and more! Plus a visit from a very special visitor from the far north.  


We will have a Winter Holiday service on Sunday, December 21 that will involve the children as we explore  many of the light-centered  celebrations that take place at this time of the year! It's always fun.


Then, on Wednesday, December 24 at 5pm, we will hold our annual Christmas Eve service with carols and stories.


We look forward to seeing you and your children whenever you can make it!


Please feel free to reach out to our Children's Activities Coordinator, Maggie Halpern at  MaggieRE@uupok.org.
