With a theme of Both Sides Now: Working through the Light and the Shadow, the Annual Assembly of the Central Midwest District will meet in Peoria April 16-18. The theme speaker is Dr. Lori Russell-Chapin, of Bradley University in Peoria, who has done much work in Jungian psychology. Also featured at this year’s assembly is the awarding of CMWD’s 1999 Unsung UU award to our own Polly McCoo.
In addition to the theme presentation, the program will feature worship services, workshops on subjects of interest to churches, and social events. Brochures are available in the Church Office. We are entitled to three delegates to this meeting.
