SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: Spirituality of Surrender
DESCRIPTION:🌿 The Spirituality of Surrender \nSunday Soul Circle — Sept 12 | 6:30 pm- 8:00 pm | Sanctuary UCC\n🕯️ A 75-minute circle of reflection\, release\, and hope. \nAfter all that Sanctuary has been through\, our hearts are heavy. The decision to pursue the Legacy and Closure process carries both pain and deep meaning — and for those who’ve shared this Soul Circle space\, the loss feels personal. \nThis week we’ll gather as companions on the journey — to name what hurts\, to honor what was\, and to open our hearts to what may yet be revealed when we surrender. Together\, we’ll reflect on the spirituality of letting go — not as defeat\, but as trust; not as absence\, but as spaciousness for grace. \nWe’ll draw on words from Jesus and wisdom from modern spiritual teachers\, and each of us will pull a card from The Power of Surrender Deck by Judith Orloff\, M.D.\, as a personal guide for the days ahead. \n🕯️ Plan for a 75-minute circle to allow time for reflection\, story\, and sacred pause. \nAll are welcome — come as you are\, with whatever you’re holding. \nAnd take heart: endings are never the whole story.\nEven here\, in the letting go\, God is already stirring new life —\nwithin us\, among us\, and beyond what we can yet see. 🌱 \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: Saying God
DESCRIPTION:Infinite. Intimate. Unknown. \nWhat do we mean when we say “God”? This question has inspired poets\, prophets\, skeptics\, and everyday seekers across time.

SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: The Ache for Home
DESCRIPTION:“Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.” – James Baldwin \nWe all carry an ache for home—the place where we are fully seen\, welcomed\, and loved. For some\, that home is rooted in memory. For others\, it is still unfolding. And for many who have been kept on the outside of cultural privilege—because of race\, gender\, or identity—homecoming is about finding a space where belonging is no longer questioned\, but celebrated. \nThis week at Sunday Soul Circle\, we’ll reflect on the deep spiritual longing to come home—whether to God\, to ourselves\, or to one another. Through scripture\, poetry\, and shared wisdom\, we’ll explore how homecoming is not just a destination\, but a sacred journey of return and claiming what has always been true: you are worthy\, you are loved\, you belong. \nAll are welcome. Come as you are. Come 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: God's Love Always On Repeat
DESCRIPTION:Remember to Remember \n“Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.” — Oscar Wilde \nWhen the people of God stood on the edge of the promised land\, Moses called them to remember. Remember the stories of rescue and love\, remember who belongs at the center\, remember the future God is unfolding. Whether you are moving on or in a time of fear\, loss\, or shame—remember. God’s love stretches into yesterday and tomorrow\, holding you wherever we go.  Join us this Sunday at Soul Circle for shared reflection\, story\, and community. Together we’ll pause\, breathe\, and ‘remember to remember to remember’ the ways God’s love is woven through our lives. \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:Art & Soul Circle: Through the Eyes of the Artist & the Artist Within
DESCRIPTION:“I don’t listen to what art critics say. I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.” — Jean-Michel Basquiat \nThrough the Eyes of the Artist & the Artist Within \nTo see is to remember\, to feel\, to imagine. \nIn this Art & Soul Circle\, we’ll gather amid the wildly diverse exhibit\, In the Eyes of the Artist* to listen—not to critics\, but to the whispers of memory\, the tug of identity\, the colors of emotion. As we explore the work of our local artists\, we’ll awaken the artist in each of us and see ourselves reflected in their creativity. \n*Arts Medford Annual Member Show: “In the Eyes of the Artist”

SUMMARY:Sunday Soul Circle: The Gospel of Good Trouble
DESCRIPTION:Good Trouble\, Sacred Ground: Join the Circle\n“Freedom is not a state\, it is an act.” –John Lewis \nJohn Lewis called it “necessary trouble.”  Jesus called it the reign of God. From sit-ins to sanctuary\, protest to prayer circle\, the Spirit still invites us to stir things up—for love\, for justice\, for each other. This Sunday’s Soul Circle explores the sacred and civic call to speak up\, act boldly\, and stand for what is just—especially when it’s uncomfortable. Drawing on the wisdom of John Lewis and Jesus alike\, we reflect on how love of neighbor leads us to righteous resistance\, courageous compassion\, and enduring hope. Come circle up this Sunday and find your place in the movement. \nWith love\, Rev.

All are welcome in this circle of grace. \nJoin us this Sunday because the fruits of the Spirit are not commodities but intimate\, relational gestures—transformative expressions of divine passion lived out in community. \nSunday Circle (8:30 am online only) \nWith love\,  \nRev.

SUMMARY:Sanctuary Sunday Soul Circle
DESCRIPTION:What if the Silence is the Answer?\n“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything.” —Gordon Hempton\, acoustic ecologist \nElijah ran to the mountain expecting a dramatic answer from God—but what came was silence. The kind that hovers in thin places—where the veil between the spiritual and physical grows sheer\, and the presence of God feels achingly near. \nSoul Circle seeks that space. A place to rest\, to listen\, and to let the silence speak. We’ll walk with Elijah through the wilderness of burnout and fear\, and discover that even in the quiet\, the Holy is not absent—it’s drawing near. \nIf you’re seeking clarity\, comfort\, or just a pause from the noise\, come. Be nourished with story\, reflection\, prayer\, and presence. Come and listen for the whisper in your own life\, and leave reminded: even in your lowest moment\, you are never alone. \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──────────
