We will be entering our seventh year of Third Sunday Sacred Scripture Study (formerly known as Bible Study) at TUUC this fall. In the previous six years, we have followed the Revised Common Lectionary, looking at the Bible readings according to the schedule followed by most Protestant churches. This year we are changing it up a bit. We will still follow the Revised Common Lectionary, but we will also integrate 3 additional sources. This year we have the option of looking at the Torah and Haftorah (some books from what you may know as the Old Testament) readings from an annual schedule used in the Jewish tradition. We will have readings from Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist traditions, which have been selected to correspond nicely with the lectionary readings. And finally, as we enter into our second year of using the Soul Matters themes, each month’s theme is listed here so that we might consider incorporating it as we read through the selections.

Join us for a monthly deep dive into our Soul Matters theme of the month, led by Ministerial Intern, Matt Aspin, and explore how the theme relates to evolving and expanding our individual and community spiritual maturity. Matt Aspin will lead a program on our monthly theme of “What Does It Mean to Be a Community of Prophecy?” woven with the concept of “Willingness to offer Leadership and Service” from UU Minister, Rev. Dr. Kendyl Gibbons’ work, “Qualities of Spiritual Maturity”. Whether or not you participate in a monthly Chalice Circle that explores the monthly theme, or if you simply want to explore one theme more deeply, this series of ten evenings will give you an opportunity to delve into what matters to your soul and spirit. Attend any topic that intrigues you, or join us for the entire series with Matt Aspin.
