The sessions are on Satur days\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welco me to come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the y ears have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affection ate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as importan t as the reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, w ith a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the c onversation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among f riends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* c ome from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want t o try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Wednesday\, July 16th\n\ nJesus: "My Father’s house has many rooms\; if that were not so\, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you\, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”\n–John 14: 2–4\nand\nJesus: “Ask and it will be given to you\; seek and you will find\; knock and the door will be opened to you . For everyone who asks receives\; the one who seeks finds\; and to the on e who knocks\, the door will be opened."\n–Matthew 7: 7–8\n\n \;\n \nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoo m.us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app : Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 6833 US ( San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by one-tap on mobil e phones: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the Bay Area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\ nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one th ing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describi ng the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the reading s we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel more connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our lives with our valu es\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and authentically ou rselves.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09 /Resonant-Reading.png CATEGORIES:Adult,Learning,Ongoing Events,Small Groups END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
