SUMMARY:Ingathering Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our yearly tradition of re-gathering from our summer sojourns on the first Sunday of the program year. We will be kicking off our theme year “Waves of Purpose\, Tides of Change” \n🌊 What does living with purpose really mean for a Unitarian Universalist?  \n🌊 What does grounding ourselves in rituals and activating our spiritual lives look like? \n🌊 Where do we find resources to grow and guide our actions as UUs to make the world a better place?  \nThese are all questions we will be asking and discussing throughout the 2023-2024 theme year. Our goal is to locate ‘Faithful Geographies’ that become touchpoints for living impactful lives that matter.  By creating depth in ourselves\, connections with others and commitments beyond our own desires we can turn purpose into change together.  \nSo we look ahead to riding the ‘Waves of Purpose’ into ‘Tides’ that make a difference in the world. We will ask another question of ourselves as we navigate through the seas of social and political challenges which is ‘What are people for?’  or to put it another way\, ‘what are we really for as progressive religious people in community?’   \nRev. Dr. Daniel Kanter is preaching MUSIC: Sanctuary Choir & the Eckert Family \nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY
