SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: Rend and Return
DESCRIPTION:“Yet even now\, says the Lord\, return to me with all your heart\, with fasting\, with weeping\, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. ” —Joel 2.12-13 \nLent begins with a word that sounds sharp: rend. But Joel is not suggesting it as a performance. Nor as punishment. This is about an opening. An honest cracking of the heart so we can see what we have kept hidden\, what we have carried\, what we have tried to keep in shadow. \nThis Sunday’s Sanctuary Soul Circle will guide us through Joel’s invitation and treat repentance as holy reorientation\, not shame. Come as you are. We will breathe\, listen\, share gently\, and practice a simple ritual of release and return. No fixing. No pretending. Just a path home.  \nwith love\, Rev. Wendy \nSanctuary UCC Sunday Spiritual Circle – for prayer\, care\, reflection\, and connection. \n~~~~ \nWendy Miller Olapade – 617.592.5853 is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82882360638?pwd=C3PlBa13j4w2dvjKgANZM9eqpUbMaa.1 \nMeeting ID: 828 8236 0638\nPasscode: 651686 \nDial by your location\n• +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n• +1 305 224 1968 US \nMeeting ID: 828 8236 0638\nPasscode: 651686 \nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kc1XnzubHD \n──────────

SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: When Women Speak
DESCRIPTION:Women’s History – Holy Courage\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“What Zelophehad’s daughters are saying is right.” —Numbers  27:7 \nDuring Women’s History Month\, Sanctuary Soul Circle will gather around the story of the five daughters of Zelophehad\, a handful of sisters in the wilderness who refused to be erased. In a world ordered around male inheritance\, they stood together\, spoke clearly\, and changed the future. \nThis simple circle will invite us to breathe\, listen\, and reflect on what this ancient story still stirs now. We will listen\, refect\, and hold prayer together – about dignity\, courage\, refusing erasure\, and claiming one’s rightful place. The daughters of Zelophehad did not ask for scraps. They named what was right\, and God said they were right. \nCome if you are hungry for a sacred space that honors women’s courage\, collective truth-telling\, and the holy work of making room for fuller humanity. Come to remember that sometimes faith sounds like a clear voice saying\, “This is not right\,” and sometimes history changes because a few people say it together. \nwith love\, Rev.

SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: Who Told You THAT?🫢👀
DESCRIPTION:Voices\, Visions\, and Veto Power\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSifting Through Pressure\, Power\, and Purpose \n“One does not live by bread alone.”  —Luke 4:4 \nEvery day\, we are surrounded by voices that want a say in who we are and how we live. Some are loud with urgency. Some speak through fear\, duty\, expectation\, or the need to prove ourselves. Some promise safety. Some promise power. Some sound so familiar we barely notice how deeply they shape our discernment. \nIn this Soul Circle\, we will explore the voices that influence our choices\, our identity\, and our sense of calling. We will reflect on the pressures to produce\, perform\, protect\, and control. And\, we will ask which voices truly align with our deepest values\, vision\, and purpose. \nThrough music\, guided meditation\, and poetry\, we will make room to listen for the sacred beneath the noise. Together\, we’ll practice noticing which voices deserve authority\, which ones need boundaries\, and what it feels like in the body to come back into alignment with what is true. \nwith love\, Rev.

SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: For the Hard\, Holy Road🚶‍♀️✨
DESCRIPTION:Kneeling Where Love Leads\n“When the days drew near for him to be taken up\, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. ”  —Luke 9:51 \nThere are seasons when faith feels like Bethlehem: tender\, lit from within\, full of wonder and nearness. And then there are seasons when faith asks more of us. The angels thin out. The road darkens. The conversation turns from birth to death\, from comfort to courage\, from beauty to costly love. Lent is that road. \nThis Soul Circle draws on the poetry of Ann Weems from Kneeling in Jerusalem\, and makes room for the reluctance\, ache\, tenderness\, and truth that often rise as we walk deeper into this season. \nTogether\, we will listen for what the road is asking of us now: where we are resisting\, where we are weary\, where we are being invited to turn back for the lost\, and where love is still leading us\, even when the light is poor.  \nCome as you are. Come thoughtful\, tired\, uncertain\, open – for there is room on the road for the whole of you. \nAnd\, God has gone on toward Jerusalem so we do not walk alone. \nwith love\, Rev.

SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: Palms\, Passion\, Presence
DESCRIPTION:“Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.”\nPhilippians 2:5 \nPalm Sunday arrives with branches in our hands and hosannas on our lips. But beneath the song is a harder invitation: to follow Jesus beyond the parade and into the aching heart of Holy Week. This is the week where praise turns\, truth sharpens\, tables tremble\, love pours itself out\, and the shadows grow long. \nThis Sunday in Soul Circle\, we will let poetry guide us into the depth and tension of the week ahead. Through prayer\, quiet reflection\, and honest sharing\, we will make space for the movement from celebration to courage\, from admiration to discipleship\, from waving palms to walking the road. \nDon’t Skip the Shadows on the Way to Resurrection \nLet this be the place where we enter them with intention. Come bring your hosannas\, your questions\, your weariness\, your love. Come let Holy Week ask something real of you. \nwith love\, Rev.
