Welcome to The Practice of Story

What is Soul Matters?

UUCJ subscribes to Soul Matters, a UU-based organization that develops, researches, curates, and crowd-sources theme-based resources. Every month, Soul Matters delves into a new spiritual theme which we integrate into our worship services.

We also make use of their monthly resource packs to provide valuable materials for religious education, small groups, the worship team, and communications. These resources are designed to educate, inspire, and enhance spiritual growth.

We provide a small group packet to members every month. This packet, used in our Chalice Circles, encourages deeper engagement with the monthly theme.

At UUCJ, we strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone can deepen their spiritual understanding and connect with others in meaningful ways. Our partnership with Soul Matters enables us to provide quality resources and programming that support this mission.

The monthly theme for this month is “Story.”

When We Pause to Remember

Rev. Alicia Ford

Full piece found in To Wake, To Rise, UUA meditation manual & Soul Matters “Common Shelf” Book

When we take a moment to shed all of that,
and hear our stories
hear and see each other into existence, into
community…
then we are living into the promise
of building the world we dream about…
In this spirit, we commit.
In this spirit, we pray.
