Soul Matters – Our Covenant

Covenant for Soul Matters Small Groups

Make meetings a priority, including being on time
Contact the facilitator(s) ahead of time if we are unable to attend
During our meetings, we agree to:
- Practice deep listening, offering each other time to share without interruption.
- Honor the rule of “no fixing, no saving, no advising, no setting each other straight!” during times of discussion and cross-talk.
- Monitor the length and frequency of our own participation so all members have opportunities to speak.
- Speak for ourselves and offer reactions rooted in gratitude and connected to our own experience
After our meetings, we agree to:
- Respect the privacy of group members by keeping personal sharing confidential
- Keep each other in our prayers and thoughts, reaching out to each other in tangible ways to ensure that we are a caring community for one another

UUSS Mission — We come together to deepen our lives and be a force for healing in the world.

UUSS Values — We value the goodness in every person, the openness and curiosity that illuminate that goodness and the love and courage that sustain us.

UUSS Covenant – We, an intergenerational community, travel together with open minds, open hearts, and helping hands. We value justice, compassion, integrity and acceptance. We seek spiritual growth, learning together, caring and laughter. To these ends we pledge our time, talents and support.
