This year, First Parish is experimenting with a set of Unitarian Universalist resources for theme-based spiritual exploration called Soul Matters. You’ll encounter these themes in worship and in the Sunday School, but there’s also an opportunity to go deeper with each month’s theme through a special Small Group Ministry curriculum. The format, which will be familiar to some, involves reading and reflecting on a topic and sharing about what it brings up from our own lives. Rev. Kelly will lead a sample group on the September theme of Expectation. All are invited to check it out and see what it’s like; if you’re interested but can’t make this meeting, please still contact Rev. Kelly at minister@firstparishbeverly.org
