Introducing the Theme for March: “Letting Go”

Worship Leader: Alison Konrad

The nature of our existence requires us to build a capability of letting go – of anything we have and ultimately, everything in our lives. How can we build that capability and what do we gain by letting go of even the things that give us joy?This will be a Short Reflection, Table Discussion during Potluck Brunch

Gathered Here – UU Young Adult Check In

Join other UU 18 to 35 year-olds on Zoom for sharing of joys and sorrows, deeper check-ins, prayerful reflections, and an opportunity to process the events of our lives with a spiritually grounded community. Each month we are joined by a member of the Young Adult Pastoral Care Team

These monthly gatherings have become highly valued touchstones in the lives of many young adults. While so much in our lives is unknown and unknowable, we can find comfort in familiar rituals and faces. By sharing our joys, our concerns, our sorrows and our gratitudes, we know ourselves to be held in a loving community. Exploring themes and spiritual practices helps us each remember our own creativity and resilience. We are all in this together, a part of a larger story. 

These are drop-in gatherings, so you don’t need to sign up in advance and there is no fee. See event details for zoom link.

Letting Go and Holding On for a Balanced UU Faith

Worship Leader: Bill Ratcliffe

What to let go and what to hold on to for a balanced UU faith is often difficult. Assumptions from the trauma of a previous faith may complicate this decision. How can our UU faith help us hold on to that which is worthy?

Questions:

  1. What assumptions have you let go or held on to achieve balance in your UU faith?
  2. What assumptions have you let go from your past faith?
  3. Where do you find guidance for balancing letting go and holding on?
  4. What can our UU Congregation do to facilitate finding this balance?
