Queer Contra Dance

Step (one, two, three) into a world of inclusive dancing with Queer Contra Chicago in The Loft at 2U!

Originating from 17th-century European country dancing, contra dance brings pairs together in long lines to move to live folk music. Traditionally, the roles for each pair are referred to as “ladies” and “gents,” with gents being the leaders and ladies being the followers. At Queer Contra, they embrace non-gendered roles, where dancers can be either a "lark" or a "raven" and it's up to each pair to choose who is who and they can switch whenever they want.

Beginners are welcome and encouraged to come for the pre-dance lesson at 6:30pm! Suggested donation of $10 at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds!

Pastoral Care Team Meeting
Jul

Pastoral Care Team Meeting

Second Unitarian Church lay people have a rich history of providing support to congregants who are experiencing changes and/or challenges in their lives; for example, the loss of a loved one, a new addition to the family, or an illness. The Pastoral Care Team carries on this role. The team is divided into two functions, practical and pastoral care, and the functions are managed by Practical Care and Pastoral Care Coordinators along with the minister’s leadership and support. The practical care group provides physical/material support that is typically short-term in nature, while the pastoral care group generally provides emotional support on a more long-term or intensive basis.

Queer Contra Dance

Queer Contra Dance

Step (one, two, three) into a world of inclusive dancing with Queer Contra Chicago Saturday, April 20th at 7pm in The Loft at 2U!

Originating from 17th-century European country dancing, contra dance brings pairs together in long lines to move to live folk music. Traditionally, the roles for each pair are referred to as “ladies” and “gents,” with gents being the leaders and ladies being the followers. At Queer Contra, they embrace non-gendered roles, where dancers can be either a "lark" or a "raven" and it's up to each pair to choose who is who and they can switch whenever they want.

Beginners are welcome and encouraged to come for the pre-dance lesson at 6:30pm! Suggested donation of $10 at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds!
