"Stream of Conscious Writing
as a Spiritual Practice"
M.Q. Riding, Discussion Leader
Sunday, August 20, 2023 - 10 a.m.
Many times, we have thoughts that, moments later, we wish we had captured on paper. There are other times when we sit down to write something and we can be completely blocked. I have found that just putting words to paper, randomly yet using some kind of structure, can be very liberating, even spiritual.
In this Sunday session, using tools that will be provided to you, we will do a few writing exercises and then compare our notes, considering the spirituality of putting pen (or pencil) to paper. Looking forward to seeing you @ UUCR! MQ

"Book Discussion"
What book intrigued, fascinated, enlightened, and/or entertained you in the last year? Come prepared to share a three-to-four minute "pitch" for this book during our annual summer reading book discussion. Bring the title and author's name to record so that we can share the list in subsequent issues of Reflections.

"The Courage to Evolve"
Science and spirituality both teach us that there is nothing unchanging in the universe. Even Unitarian Universalism has evolved and continues to do so. Are we prepared to live into the larger love our movement is embodying in this generation? What is the tension between the greater possibilities at hand and the resistance, even hostility, to our progress? On this Ingathering Sunday, we celebrate the power of community to save lives in a hurting world.
- Rev. Paul Boothby, Guest Speaker
- Annie Lavin, Service Leader
