Covenant Groups in October

In our groups this month, we took up the question of how we experience gratitude. Gratitude is essential to living fully, so we need to pay attention when moments of gratitude arise. But is that enough? For instance, it’s one thing to notice the beauty of nature when you happen across it; it’s quite another to make time to seek it out and enjoy it. It’s important to appreciate gratitude when it occurs, but might it not be more important to make it intentional—to nurture it so that it grows into a practice? What do you think of this view of gratitude? Do you create opportunities for yourself to feel and express gratitude?

In November, groups will ask similar questions when they discuss “Cultivating Compassion.” If subjects like these intrigue you, you might want to consider joining a covenant group.  The covenant group program offers its members the opportunity to share their views and deepen their understanding of a wide range of issues while creating closer ties with other UUs.  If you’re interested, please contact Nic Kaplan ([email protected]) for more information.
