Spiritual Themes
A reminder of our interconnectedness in the web of life.
Spiritual Themes
Each month we center our worship and reflection on one important spiritual theme or idea. The themes range from “Joy” to “Death” and from “Justice” to “Salvation.” Our Learning Community, Adult Education Program, and Social Justice leaders often reference the themes as they apply to their ministries.
After three years, we return to the original themes and begin the cycle again. Every time we return offers an opportunity for us to go deeper with each theme, to remember what we learned (if you were attending First Unitarian during previous cycles) and, more importantly, to search for what these spiritual ideas mean in our lives today.
