A school outing for the Didymus (Ringwood #Unitarians) group in January - an enlivening experience with the Southern Unitarian Association


We went today, as a group, to the Southern Unitarian Association gathering hosted by Edmund Kell Church, Southampton. In our worship service we were reminded that churches are there to serve people's needs. One of the key needs people have these days is to feel loved and connected, just like other animals. We watched a wonderful video reminding us of that.  Link below.  I bet you didn't know that turkeys want to be hugged.

We had some uplifting hymns and instead of candles for concerns, we were invited to use post it notes to record our dreams and hopes for ourselves, our Unitarianism and our world.
We were then treated to a splendid lunch by the Southampton Unitarians, after which we took part in some circle dancing.


Many people commented that it was a very good event and we parted knowing each other a little better, and enthused to come back next time - and maybe bring some friends with us.  And next time it's up to us from Ringwood to organise, host and run the event.  It won't be the same, but we hope it will be differently satisfying.
