Please join us for our online religious education for children and youth this Sunday (10 May 2020) — we will start this online Zoom classroom about 5 minutes after our worship service is over.

The Zoom link  for this group will be found on the All Souls Religious Education Facebook Group.

This Sunday — We’ll talk about the ways we settle our spirits when we are afraid, angry, or upset.

We will take some time to think of ways to thank the Moms and other important grownups in our lives who help us to do that.

We can still use your art work illustrating our principles and sources (especially the 3rd and 4th principles):

• How people act when they support each other and learn together
• How people act when they are free to search for truth in their own lives

You can post it on the All Souls Religious Education Facebook Group or email it to Susan.

Please join us on Sunday (10 May 2020) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class via Zoom.

We will be starting Faith Forward:  Spiritual Practice with “Session 3 — Keeping Sabbath.”

This morning we’ll explore the idea of Sabbath time, what that means to each of us, and how we carve it out of our days, now and as we begin to transition to a new normal.

As we enter our focus on personal spiritual growth and development, we’ll look at this program (developed by First Unitarian Church of Dallas, Texas) where members are asked to commit to a daily spiritual practice, monthly communal worship, an annual retreat, and at least one once-in-a-lifetime experience of pilgrimage (not necessarily a geographic pigrimage).

The second session will include an experience of meditation as well as a look at the difference between spiritual exploration and spiritual discipline (both of which are important to a spiritual life).

The “New UU” adult religious education class will be resuming this Sunday (10 May 2020) at 1:00 PM via Zoom.

Bennett is once again offering this class for new and not-so-new members alike.

This week’s topic is “Social Justice Philosophy and Practice”

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the history, theology, and polity of Unitarian Universalism , as well as the history and unique character of our own congregation.

If you’re interested, email Bennett and he will send you a link to join the class.

This Sunday — We’ll take some time to think about our fourth Principle (the free and responsible search for truth and meaning).

Perhaps your family has been taking this time to go through things in your house and think about what you still use and what is no longer useful and could be donated to someone else.

Sometimes it’s good to do that with our own beliefs and opinions as well … to examine carefully some of the things we’ve taken for granted and see if they still hold true for us.

We might find out in the process that things are not always what they seem!

We’ll also explore our first source (Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life).
