SANCTUARY REFLECTIONS –Rochelle Lamm, Facilitator
Sundays, 11:30am - 12:15pm, Sanctuary
Do you ever leave a Sunday worship service “hungry for more?” Perhaps you are wrestling with some unanswered questions. "Sanctuary Reflections" is an opportunity to reflect on Rev. Rick’s sermon messages, exchange “takeaways” and enrich our religious/spiritual exploration in an organized discussion group.
This is an entirely flexible open forum with no sign-ups or commitments. Join in on Sunday when your interest, curiosity or passion is piqued by the day’s service. The facilitator, Rochelle Lamm, has been a UU for more than 30 years and is an experienced and skilled discussion facilitator.
STARTING POINT - Reid Swanson, Facilitator
New session starting in October, 2024! Dates to be announced soon.
A class for people ready to begin, or begin the next leg of, their spiritual journey into Unitarian Universalism. We'll look at the historical journey of our faith tradition, the local journey of our UUCSC church, and reflect on our personal spiritual journeys, where we've come from, where we are, and where we go from here, leading toward a deeper integration into this faith and our community.
THE BIBLE IN ITS OWN WORDS - Rev. Rick Hoyt-McDaniels, Facilitator
Seven Sessions: September 10, 17, 24, October 1, 8, 15, 22; 7:00 PM in the World Room
The Bible is the most influential book of all time, but what does it actually say? Join Rev. Hoyt-McDaniels as we read together the first two books of the Bible. Genesis begins with the creation of the world and tells the familiar stories of Noah and the flood; Lot and his wife; Joseph and the coat of many colors, and many others. Exodus contains the adventure of Moses, the escape from Egypt, and the Ten Commandments. The class will read aloud and share reactions as we go. Rev. Hoyt-McDaniels will answer questions, and add information about who wrote these texts, when, and what purpose they might have served for the original audience.
