Paying Attention: What is in Your Cup?

In a wisdom tale, Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh tells us the bump in the road doesn’t create what spills out of the cup we are carrying. Instead it reveals what is already inside. The question is not about who bumps us rather, “What am I carrying in my cup?”

Take a deep dive into our Soul Matters theme of the month every fourth Sunday following worship service from September to May. Using a different format than our Chalice Circles, experience a new theme each month in community with others. The deep dives support and reinforce Chalice Circle participation, and are open to all adult members and friends, whether or not you participate as a Chalice Circle member. No prior reading or preparation is required. Rev. Linda Hart and Doug Taylor co-lead this monthly exploration. Questions? Contact one of the facilitators or email Admin@TahomaUU.com. Copies of the materials on the monthly theme are available on the Programs table by the door to the sanctuary. Our themes for this year are: October - Belonging November - Attention December - Awe January - Integrity February - Wisdom March - Liberation April - Wholeness May - Thresholds

Join us for our Last Tuesday Dinner Group at a different area restaurant each month on the last Tuesday evening. These meals are casual, come-as-you-please gatherings. It's a wonderful way to get to know fellow members of the congregation, and you may individually order from the restaurant's menu. The restaurant will be announced as we approach the last Tuesday. Come, relax, eat, and join in the conversations.
