UUCSJS Midweek Message

Let us continue asking "What does it mean to be a people of healing?"

In this post-election week and in preparation for this Sunday's service, Rev. Dawn shares "A Survival Meditation" by Rev. Dr. Nathan Walker. Let's all breathe in - and breathe out - in the name of healing.

Take some time this week to catch your breath and think about what healing you may need.

Rev. Dawn is available for pastoral care appointments Wednesday through Friday 10am - 3pm email minister@uucsjs.org.

-Rev. Dawn Fortune

The words "Breathe In, Breathe Out," are among life's most simple and basic instructions, but it is remarkable how often we need to be reminded to do it. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Yes, the news of the world is troubling. Unlike the healing that happens after physical trauma, like a broken leg, or a bad cold, spiritual healing can begin before the trauma has ended. Viktor Frankl survived his time in Auschwitz in part by paying attention to his own spirit and serving others. Nelson Mandela emerged from his cell a whole man, not a broken soul. What is it that we can do to begin our own spiritual healing during these days? What does spiritual healing look like for us? Join us as we consider the ways to engage our spirits in the necessary work of healing.

Millennium Rising is the absolute BEST story of the always talked about Apocalypse. Jane Jensen does an excellent job of building characters which you can identify with and then takes you on a real roller coaster ride of suspense and intrigue. The story is captivating from page one and is very difficult to put down.

Arlene Yacka will be leading the meeting.

Book club will be meeting on ZOOM on Friday, November 20 at 7:00 pm. Everyone is welcome to join whether you have read the book or not.

QUESTIONS: email Barbara Morell or uucsjsadmin@gmail.com.
