We will continue the next series of Faith Forward — UU Theology.
UU Theology is a planned as a six-session series exploring various theological concepts through a Unitarian Universalist lens.
Each session addresses the question “What does our Unitarian Universalist tradition teach about this concept, and how does that help me clarify and act on my own beliefs?”
For this week, we will begin Session 3 — “What Is Our Purpose?”
We’ll explore the ways that a sense of purpose impacts our daily lives and our involvement with the church, and revisit the importance of covenant as the foundation of our faith and community.
Please join us next Wednesday (9 September 2020) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
Bring your lunch and meet up with your All Souls friends, have lunch, and just catch up.
This a chance to connect and catch up midweek.
At some point we may decide to bring in speakers but for now we’re just hanging out and enjoying each other’s virtual company.
Hope to see you there!
