    We are an Open Spiritual Community in the North Georgia Mountains
Where Each Positive Progressive Week Begins Sunday At 11:00 AM
February 7 – Alice Sampson, PhD, Director of Appalachian Studies Center. The Georgia Appalachian Studies Center is designated by the legislature as the official center for the study of Appalachia in the state of Georgia. Housed in the historic Vickery House on the North Georgia campus, it is an academic center that produces and partners in a variety of community-based and regional projects. The Center seeks to assist members of the campus and larger community to “live and learn the Appalachian Story" through the lenses of place and culture, particularly in subjects of art, history, music, and nature. February 14 – Celebrate Valentine’s Day by “Standing on the Side of Love,” a service that takes its name from a new initiative of the Unitarian Universalist Association. This bold new campaign calls on religious people to stand up for respect, inclusion, and compassion and to reject actions that exclude, oppress or threaten people because of their identities. Why stop at candy and greeting cards? Reimagine Valentine’s Day with members and friends of GMUUC, who will share stories of our church standing on the side of love in the past, present and future. February 21 – "A Traveler's Field Guide to Unitarians and Universalists" - The Reverend Barry Whittemore. Our mythology tells us that at the time of merger Unitarians and Universalists resolved the few minor theological differences between the two. Did they? Could there be a link between unresolved differences and current struggles within our movement? Come and hear. February 28 – In honor of Black History Month: Chetter Galloway, African- American storyteller, will present "Testifying: Humorous Tales of Divine Intervention." Georgia Are you seeking a church:
