SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: Wintering Well
DESCRIPTION:Wintering Well: Rest\, Roots\, and the Holy Slowdown \nJanuary keeps trying to sell us a “fresh start.” But the earth is not in a hurry. Seeds are underground. Sap is low. The north is sleeping. And maybe—just maybe—your soul is too. \nThis Sunday’s Sanctuary Art & Soul Circle is an annual permission slip to reject linear time and return to nature’s pace: Rest. Renew. Remember. We’ll sit with a bold winter reflection\, share a grounding scripture about seeds growing in the dark\, listen for what is ready to be composted\, and tend the inner fire that keeps you alive. \nCome for gentle music\, a simple art-based practice\, honest conversation\, and a pastoral prayer for those feeling heavy\, slow\, or resistant. Nothing is wrong with you. You might just be listening to the earth. \nAll are welcome—come as you are. Bring a pen & paper. Bring a tired heart. Bring your winter self. \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
DESCRIPTION:This week\, it can feel like the world is being turned into a fear factory\, and the conveyor belt never stops. Some of us are numb. Some are furious. Some are simply tired in places sleep cannot reach. \nSo tomorrow\, we’re gathering online for Sanctuary Soul Circle to listen for wisdom that has helped people survive hard seasons for a long\, long time. \nSix African proverbs will be our lanterns: \n\n\nBend\, don’t break. \n\n\nWait for morning. \n\n\nAsk the questions that keep you from losing your way. \n\n\nWeave your strength together. \n\n\nHonor small steps. \n\n\nRemember Ubuntu: I am because we are. \n\n\nCome as you are\, tender or tough\, skeptical or praying. Bring a candle\, a cup of something warm\, and the part of you that still wants to be human. \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: Brick by Brick\, Choice by Choice
DESCRIPTION:This King Holiday weekend\, Sanctuary Soul Circle is leaning into Dr. King’s central vision: Building the Beloved Community\, not as a distant dream\, but as a daily practice. Not passive hope\, but active construction. 🧱🕊️ \nMany of us are tired. Tender. On edge. And still… here we are. This circle will be a place to tell the truth without becoming brittle\, to remember that we’re not meant to carry the world alone\, and to practice a love that has muscle\, boundaries\, and forward motion. \nScripture Lesson: 1 Corinthians 12:12–27“When one member suffers\, all suffer together with it; when one member is honored\, all rejoice together with it.” \nIn the circle\, we’ll share a brief reflection\, grounding breath prayer\, and an embodied practice: each person will name one “brick” they’re laying this week toward Beloved Community\, one concrete choice that turns faith into hands-and-feet. You’ll leave with something you can actually do\, not just something nice to feel. \nMLK Quote to hold us steady: \n\n“The aftermath of nonviolence is the creation of the beloved community.” \n\nCome as you are. Come weary\, come willing\, come curious. We’re not trying to be heroes. We’re practicing extraordinary love the ordinary way: day after day after day \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: Come Get Your Name Back
DESCRIPTION:“And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my Child\, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’” –Luke 1:22b \nThis Sunday\, Sanctuary Soul Circle heads to the Jordan River\, where Jesus steps into the water and the sky breaks open. Before Jesus preaches a sermon or performs a miracle\, God speaks three names over him: Beloved. Belonging. Delight. Not as a reward\, but as a beginning. \nIf you’re tired of carrying untrue names\, if you’re longing to feel grounded again\, or if you simply need a place where your nervous system can unclench for an hour\, come. We’ll listen to a vivid retelling of Jesus’ baptism\, connect to our own belovedness\, and practice returning to God’s good name for us!. \nNo perfection required. Just bring your whole self. The water is waiting. \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──────────
