This fall we are launching a new small groups ministry program called Soul Matters.

Soul Matters is a theme-based ministry program that includes all aspects of congregational life – from worship services to children and adult religious education, small group ministry to individual spiritual practice.  Using a shared theme creates an opportunity for the whole congregation to journey together and maintains and builds connections among us.

Our Soul Matters small groups will draw from these same themes to build community and connection during these challenging times.   Many of us long for opportunities for deeper connections and reflection.  The groups will provide a welcoming structure to build connections and our explore values.  Each session will include check-in, reflection on the theme, shared readings or videos and time for sharing and discussion.  The groups share a covenant reflecting commitments and practices for being together with love and respect.  We will practice respectful listening and discussion so that all can participate fairly and freely.

In support of the UUSS mission “to be a force for healing in the world,” each group will choose a project to “be a force for healing in the world.”  These projects could include working with one of our community partners such as the International Rescue Committee or the Effie Yaw Nature Center, or it could be a project that supports a need at UUSS.  The groups will decide together on the project that they will undertake.
