"As Unitarian Universalists, our faith calls us to be agents for social change. However, sometimes this work can feel draining, or disconnected from our spirituality. Engaging social change efforts through the format of small group ministry addresses both the yearning to grow spiritually in community and the call to transform ourselves and the world. The Small Group Ministry becomes our home base, from which we engage with the world. Using this group encourages us to focus more on spiritual and social transformation and less on tasks. Come so we can learn together and deepen our engagement of social change , spiritual growth, and the connections between the two. Come to reflect on that which is larger than ourselves as we endeavor to create the Beloved Community." The Social Change Ministry Meeting will start back on Tuesday, September 13th at 11:30am.
