As part of Adult Faith Formation, we have offered UU Wellspring programs since the 2021-2022 church year. The first level program is Sources, which explores the 6 sources of the UU faith. Prior to Sources, I would tell people that I was a member of a UU church. Since offering Sources and working with the program materials for the past 4 years, I now say that I am a UU and know what that means to me.
Now in our fifth year, we have enough ‘graduates’ to offer a next-level program. This church year, we have a very strong Sources group as well as a group taking Deep Questions, which explores our 7 principles in depth. Our hope is to continue to grow the number of people who journey with Sources and thus the additional next-level program offerings from UU Wellspring. We begin recruiting for participants in June, have the groups formed by mid-August, supporting a kickoff in early September.
UU Wellspring includes:
- Commitment to daily spiritual practice
- Participation in small group community
- Individual work with a spiritual director strongly encouraged
- Readings and resources for knowledge and reflection
- Reflection and commitment to live our values in the world
If this is something you’d like to explore further, feel free to reach out to any of the current or previous facilitators of UU Wellspring programs.
