First Community Sabbath Sunday of the 2015-2016 Program Year Planned for October 18th

Last year, with inspiration from Rev. Ana’s sermon on keeping the Sabbath holy, First Unitarian experimented with regular Sabbath Sundays.  The all-day events which start with pre-worship meditation and end with an afternoon closing worship, are meant to provide our members and friends with a mechanism to, in the words of Rev. Ana “Put away your work and phone and striving and errands for the day and enjoy the abundance of all that you already have, together with your community”.  While it is our hope that each of us will take time for a person Sabbath every week, we have planned four Community Sabbath Sundays this program year.  The first Sunday is planned for October 18th and will include opportunities for rest and relaxation, free play, meditation, Adult Religious Exploration, Yoga and more.  All are welcome to join us for worship and stay for an afternoon of community building.  All activities (and passivities) are optional.  We begin at 10AM for morning meditation, followed by worship, fellowship hour and concurrent activities.  We end the day at with a shared snack and closing worship, concluding at 3PM.  For more information, contact Garnett Losak  (garnett@fuub.org).
