A Diverse Spiritual Community
This Sunday, we’ll explore the idea of our spiritual diversity as a community — what that looks like, how we relate to it in our everyday interactions, and how we express it to others. See you at 10 am!
Topic: Community
Sacred Intimacy
This month CVUU will begin facilitating the Our Whole Lives (OWL) Program, the UUA’s comprehensive sexuality education course, to a group of 7th-9th graders. Demonstrating that we can indeed talk about sexuality through our life stages, Jennifer Hamilton will be presenting on Sacred Intimacy — the idea that our sexuality can be and is deeply tied to our spirituality and relationship health. As a culture that is often sensitive and closed to talking openly about sexuality, Jennifer will demonstrate how allowing for vulnerability and openness can lead to healing and wholeness in ourselves, relationships and communities.
Poetry Share: On Relationships
Our theme for February will be relationships. This Sunday, Feb 7th, will kick off with a poetry share and explore using poetry as a tool to help us understand one another and our relationships to everything around us. We invite you to think this week about some of your favorite poems about relationships and bring them to share. Poems can be related to any aspect of relationships including relationships to family, friends, lovers, places, things, or the divine, but poems should be reasonably short to allow everyone the opportunity to share.
