Soul Matters
The congregation subscribes to the Soul Matters Theme Ministry Program which produces resources for the thematic integration of a congregation’s ministries and programs using monthly themes.
Using resources created to enhance worship, small group ministry, religious exploration, and social media, we invite members and friends of the congregation to grow intellectually, deepen spiritually, and act in ways that make for a more peace-filled and just world.
Monthly themes for the 2023-2024 church season include belonging, courage, change, wonder, finding our center, love, vulnerability, resistance, creativity, and delight.
We hope these themes ground and deepen the spiritual life of congregants and friends by expanding opportunities for family-based religious exploration and a deepened spiritual focus for individuals and small groups.
You are invited to open your heart by taking these themes into your everyday life.
2023-2024 Themes
This year’s overarching frame is The Gifts of Our Faith. We focus on ten beloved UU values and explore their potential to shape us and in turn shape the world.
How do these values offer us both challenge and comfort? What might it mean to place them at the center of our living and loving? What promise do they hold for us individually as well as collectively? These are some of questions that will guide and bless our journey in the year ahead.
