As we ease into the beginning of a new church year,the Pagosa Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will be hosting a small group gathering we’re calling Going Deeper—Small Group Ministry this Sunday, September 22, 11:00am–12:30pm.
This month, and into October the gathered group’s focus will be on What the World Needs Now: Universalism in a Polarized Age.
The Sunday service began this series, in collaboration with the Foothill Unitarian Church, located in Fort Collins, and has given us food for thought, as we ponder questions in a safe, welcoming environment.
This week the exploration takes us on a journey of curiosity into the following:
- Fear and its influence
- The challenge of “Us vs. Them”
- Politics and identity
- Our personal actions and accountability
We invite participants to bring a sack lunch if you choose, and treats and beverages will be provided. We meet at Unit B-15 of the Greenbriar Plaza 301 N. Pagosa Blvd. on the north side facing Pagosa Peak.
You may wonder what Small Group Ministry means for Unitarian Universalists (UU).
UUA.org states:
We embrace that ministry happens in relationship. Small group ministry deepens and expands the ministry of a congregation by providing an intentional container for those relationships.
If you are looking for a place to get curious about this timely topic we invite you to join us for contemplation and deep listening with fellow seekers. Attendance at the Sunday service is not necessary or required to attend this program, but all are invited to attend our added fifth Sunday this month, September 29, as we continue the series and hear a sermon entitled ‘The Underdog’, exploring how power and vulnerability impacts the call of Universalism.
