The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays \, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome to come twice a week or onc e in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the appro ach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a session only an hour lon g\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. Those who are fre quently in the group get to know each other very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators us e a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from group members\, who a lso take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\nThe readin g for this session: Wednesday\, July 23\,2025\n\n\nJesus: "My Father’s h ouse has many rooms\; if that were not so\, would I have told you that I a m 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 1 4: 2–4\n\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 rec eives\; the one who seeks finds\; and to the one who knocks\, the door wil l be opened."\n–Matthew 7: 7–8\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.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 J oin this class by one-tap on mobile phones: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  ( San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the Bay Area?  Find your local numbe r: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources ar e secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, whic h we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any reading that help s us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel mor e connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely aliv e\n align our lives with our values\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and authentically ourselves.\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
