SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: Noticing - The Holy Art of Paying Attention
DESCRIPTION:Noticing: The Holy Art of Paying Attention \nLast week\, Trying invited us to risk being beginners. This week\, the second book in Kobi Yamada’s Mentor Series asks us to slow down and look again. Noticing follows a young person and an older painter who sees much more than clouds\, mountains\, faces\, and ordinary days. She sees possibility. She sees wonder. Most importantly\, she sees the person standing beside her. \nScripture often begins in the same way: someone stops long enough to notice. Moses turns aside to look at a burning bush. Jesus looks closely at a person and loves them. Travelers discover that Christ has been walking beside them all along. Perhaps the miraculous is not as far away as we imagine. Perhaps grace is already here\, waiting for our attention. \nJoin us for Soul Circle as we listen to Noticing and consider what we may be overlooking in the world\, in one another\, and in ourselves. Together\, we will practice the holy art of paying attention and wonder what might become visible when we pause\, look again\, and allow ourselves to be amazed. \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: Caring - Love With It's Sleeves Rolled Up
DESCRIPTION:Trying asked: Can I begin\, even when I’m not sure I can?Noticing asked: Can I become awake enough to see what is here?Caring asks: Now that I see\, what will I do with what I have seen? \nThis Sunday\, we continue our journey through Kobi Yamada’s Mentor series with Caring\, a beautiful invitation to consider the difference one person can make simply by choosing to care. Caring begins when something\, or someone\, matters enough for us to lean in\, pay attention\, make an effort\, and offer what we can. \nScripture reminds us\, “Let us love\, not in word or speech\, but in truth and action.”  (1 John 3:18) Together we’ll reflect on the people\, places\, hopes\, and needs that have our hearts right now\, and wonder what love might be asking of us. Not necessarily something grand. Perhaps simply one small act of presence\, courage\, generosity\, or care. \nBecause caring is more than a feeling. It is love becoming visible. And sometimes the smallest act of care reaches farther than we will ever know. Join us Sunday morning for Soul Circle as we ask: What has your heart right now\, and what might caring ask of you? \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: Six Sundays - Making Room
DESCRIPTION:There are six Sundays of Soul Circle left before we bring this particular gathering to a close on September 20. Rather than rush toward the ending\, we are going to let these final weeks become a gentle spiritual journey together\, making space for what is tender\, what is unfinished\, what is precious\, and what is ready to be released. \nOur movement through these six Sundays will be simple:\nWe make room.\nWe remember.\nWe receive what remains.\nWe give thanks.\nWe release.\nWe bless. \nThis Sunday\, August 16\, we begin by making room\, creating sanctuary for grief. Some grief comes with anniversaries. Some arrives suddenly and without warning. Some grows quietly as we anticipate an ending we know is coming. And some grief has no words at all. We will not try to explain it\, solve it\, or hurry through it. We will simply make room for what we are carrying\, and for one another\, trusting that even sorrow can be held in sacred space. \nCome as you are\, with whatever you are carrying. There is room for it here. \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: What Love Keeps
DESCRIPTION:Last Sunday\, we began our six-week Soul Circle journey by making room for grief\, sorrow\, and all that we carry. This Sunday\, we stay in that spacious place and turn gently toward the next movement: We remember. \nMemory has a strange way of finding us. A voice. A laugh. A song. A place. An ordinary moment we did not know we would someday treasure. Sometimes remembering brings tears; sometimes it brings laughter; often it brings both. But remembering can be sacred work\, a way of saying: This person mattered. This place mattered. This love mattered. \nThis Sunday at Soul Circle\, we will make room for the people\, places\, relationships\, and seasons that have shaped us. We will ask what deserves to be remembered so that the ending does not become the whole story. Come with whatever memories find you. There is room for all of them. \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: What Love Leaves Behind
DESCRIPTION:For the past two Sundays\, we have been making room for grief and remembering the people\, places\, and experiences that have shaped us. This week our six-Sunday journey takes another turn. We ask not only what has been lost\, but what remains. \nLoss changes things. Sometimes forever. But even when a person is gone\, a season ends\, or a community prepares to close\, not everything disappears. A phrase someone taught us becomes part of our vocabulary. A kindness changes how we care for others. A community teaches us how to pray\, question\, protest\, forgive\, laugh\, or begin again. Love has a way of leaving fingerprints. \nThis Sunday at Soul Circle we will make space to notice those traces. What has become part of you because someone loved you? What have you learned here that now belongs to you? What remains\, not as a substitute for what has been lost\, but as something entrusted to your keeping? \nCome as you are. Bring your memories\, your questions\, and whatever remains. \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──────────
