Fall Program Guide Available; Circle Registration Opens Sept. 8
One of the core spiritual practices of this community takes place in circles: groups of 8-10 committed participants who gather regularly to reflect on their lives and contemplate our worship themes. These groups are grounded in the spiritual practices of deep listening and open-hearted reflection.
Registration for Fall 2019 and Church Year 2019-2020 Circles will be open Sunday, Sept. 8 through Monday, Sept. 23 online at firstuniversalistchurch.org/circles.

Soul Matters Circles: This small group curriculum encourages you to reflect more deeply on our monthly worship theme. At the start of each month, you will receive a packet of resources that includes poems, articles, YouTube videos, and more. This packet is your go-to text as you meet with your group and attend services. It also includes questions for contemplation and spiritual exercises that invite you into deeper relationship with our worship theme. View this fall’s offerings and sign up here!
Spiritual Deepening Circles: This fall, our spiritual deepening offerings include circles, classes, and workshops. Spiritual Deepening Circles are groups of 8-10 participants who explore a spiritual practice together. Classes are an opportunity to engage in study of a topic or text, and include reading and homework assignments. Workshops are designed to build your capacity to move a spiritual practice out of the church and into the world. As our commitment to racial justice guides us into deeper hospitality and relationship, all of our offerings include opportunities for mindful attention, embodiment, and interpersonal connection.

Newcomer Circles offer an opportunity to learn more about our liberal faith tradition, reflect on our spiritual journeys, and connect with others who are also getting to know First Universalist. View our fall schedule and sign up here!
Childcare during circles is available free of charge by submitting this online form at least 7 days in advance.
