										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we did last year (for the first time), this year, we will again use the Canadian UU source for our monthly themes called “Meaning Making.”</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s themes are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Agency and Acceptance (October)</li>
<li>Change and Stability (November)</li>
<li>Humility and Pride (December)</li>
<li>Responsibility and Integrity (January)</li>
<li>Power and Powerlessness (February)</li>
<li>Expectations and Surprises (March)</li>
<li>Forgiveness and Repair (April)</li>
<li>Community and Individuality (May)</li>
</ul>
<p>And once again, due to popular demand, we will be offering <strong>small groups</strong> to engage with the material –</p>
<ul>
<li>Receive the packet – with questions for reflection and suggested spiritual exercises</li>
<li>Attend your small group once/month to do a deep check-in and share your experiences and reflections on the material.</li>
</ul>
<p>Folks who were in groups last year appreciated that these groups were a good way to <strong>deepen connection with others</strong> in the congregation and to give yourself time to<strong> intentionally reflect on things that matter.  </strong></p>
<p>We have <strong>4 groups</strong> to offer. Choose the time, date, and location that works best for you.</p>
