The sessions are on Sa turdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are we lcome to come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over th e years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affect ionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as impor tant as the reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\ , with a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to th e conversation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each oth er very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are amon g friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in t he chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings * come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they wan t to try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: This Wednesday (8/6 a t 12 noon)\n\nPeter’s Vision\nAbout noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city\, Peter went up on the roof to p ray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat\, and while the meal was being prepared\, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and somethin g like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It conta ined all kinds of four-footed animals\, as well as reptiles and birds. The n a voice told him\, “Get up\, Peter. Kill and eat.” “Surely not\, L ord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean. ” The voice spoke to him a second time\, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” This happened three times\, and immediately th e sheet was taken back to heaven.\n—Acts 10: 9–16\n\n\nHow to join:\n\ n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/9686580892 3\, 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 mobile phones: 6699006 833\,\,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 Zoo m link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme impo rtance to us\n feel more connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\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
