Reflection Groups

2023-2024 reflection groups

Soul Matters Reflection Groups offer an opportunity to connect with your spirit and develop meaningful relationships with UUCCers outside of Sunday mornings. Groups gather monthly to reflect on a monthly theme in a small group setting with a facilitator. See below for the list of this year’s themes.  Members of our UUCC community — whether you’ve been attending for years or started coming this year — are encouraged to consider participating in a group or leading one.

2023-2024 soul matters theme

This year’s overarching frame is The Gifts of Our Faith. We focus on beloved Unitarian Universalist 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 our journey in the year ahead.

Here is the list of our 2023-24 themes:

 Heritage

March:  Transformation
