Soulful Home: April 13th

  • Kitsap Unitarian Universal Fellowship (map)

Soulful Home is an ongoing parent group meeting that usually meets the third Sunday of each month following the service. However, because the third Sunday of April is Easter, Soulful Home has been moved to April 13th. Parents are invited to bring a sack lunch for themselves and for their child(ren). Children will remain up in the Matan Building for childcare while parents meet to build community and explore the Soulful Home resources. Soulful Home is a program through Soul Matters that supports families as they explore the sacred in everyday spaces by providing materials to help parents integrate Unitarian Universalism into everyday home life.

April 13: Joy Found in Foolishness (“For the fun of it!”)

  • Kitsap Unitarian Universal Fellowship (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In this session the group will be exploring how joy is found in “foolishness.” Think fun, silliness, jokes, and the good-hearted frivolity that makes one happy to be alive. They will be taking inspiration from the well-loved and widely-used saying, “For the fun of it!” Even though it will have passed, the session will also give them a chance to celebrate and have fun with April Fool’s Day.

In this session the group will explore how joy can be found in nature, with a special nod to Earth Day. Often the focus on Earth Day, is what actions can be taken to save the Earth. In this session, the group will explore the other side of the coin, focusing on how Earth can save us with its deep and simple joys. They will be taking inspiration for the well-loved and widely used sayings, “Stop and smell the roses!” and “Nature is the best medicine.”

In this session, the group will look at trusting our inherent worth and how part of that is also about helping others trust their inherent worth. This will lead into how they can support those voices in their heads that say, “I deserve to be treated with respect.” With this as their focus, they have the wonderful opportunity to honor Transgender Day of Visibility with a Faith in Action project.

The architect, philosopher and futurist R.

How do you live the practice of loving compassion and stop harm in this time? Large UU events, like summer camps and General Assembly, all have care teams as part of their organization. This is one of our strategies for tending relationships, holding tension, and transforming conflict. At KUUF, Compassionate Communication Team members support Beloved Community by mediating and listening to members’ experiences, and helping people learn how to be better listeners. Next Sunday, Rev. Victoria and Compassionate Communication Team members will host a listening practice  and share reflections on building trust.

March 16: Trusting Life
In this session the group explores how they can each support those voices in their heads that say, “LIfe is good!” and develop the courage to take “leaps of faith.” The Hindu holiday of Holi happens in March, so they will look at its celebration of good over evil. St. Patrick’s Day is also in March, so they will use it as a chance to ask, “Is life just random and full of luck, or does it lean in the direction of goodness?”

At a recent Unitarian Universalist service, the worship leader informed me, in no uncertain terms, “I don’t worship anything.” Ohhhhh, there’s a message in there somewhere! Next Sunday we explore the concept of worship and see whether there is anything in the known Universe that might inspire us to bend our knees or bow our head... or both!

  • Kitsap Unitarian Universal Fellowship (map)

William Sloane Coffin asserts, “faith is not believing without proof but trusting without reservation.” How is such trust built? Part of building trust is being honest and authentic with each other. That means sharing who I am, who you are, and where each of us desires to be headed. When we do this, we can trust the process of discerning who we can be together: where we share a common vision. Because that’s what inspires our commitment, and moves us to give.
