A Conversation About UUism and Channing Church

 Want to know more about Unitarian Universalism and what we believe? What is involved in being a member of the Channing Church community? 

Rev. Zelazny, and the Membership Committee will hold a discussion about the heritage, tradition and beliefs of Unitarian Universalism and Channing Church.  Participants will meet other people like them who are exploring this faith tradition.  There will be plenty of time for Q & A

 We will gather in the Library at Channing House (the house to the east of the church) on Sunday, December 4 from 11:15 – 12:30.  Pick up some coffee in the Parish Hall and join Rev. Bill for a conversation.

Contact the church office at Office@Channingchurch.org to reserve a place.

The Newport String Quartet is the resident ensemble of The Newport String Project, a chamber music performance and youth mentoring initiative that aims to build a community that crosses boundaries of generation, heritage, and economic circumstances through access to inspiring musical experiences for all.

 The project aims to strengthen the social and cultural fabric of the wider Newport community by presenting a professional chamber music concert series, featuring both classical and traditional music styles. Now in its tenth season, the project focuses on growing the organization so that it can support a long-term, professional chamber music residency that builds authentic relationships between professional musicians and the community at large.
