Meaning Making

This year the overarching theme from October to May is “Roots of Resilience.”

The monthly themes are:

• October – Intentional Rest
• November – Deep Connection
• December – Radical Inclusion
• January – Active Engagement
• February – Theological Aliveness
• March – Spiritual Grounding
• April – Choosing Hope
• May – Cultivating Joy

For our monthly theme, we offer a few ways to engage it. We know there are different preferences in how to explore ideas and practices. So here’s what we’ve organized so far:

• one Sunday service each month with a guest speaker (video recording). Our worship team creates the service with materials offered in the program to choose from, including a recorded sermon by a Unitarian Universalist minister.
• a discussion group after that Sunday service, once each month
• a theme packet with a short reflection, questions, practices, quotes, and other resources (like books, songs, TED Talk links, etc.)  Download December’s theme packet.

We also offer a discussion guide. So if you have a small group you are already part of at Beacon, or meet with others for coffee/tea each month and want to use some parts of it to spark an interesting discussion, or want to use it with your spouse/partner/family, please try it out.
