The sessions are on Saturdays \, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome t o come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the approach 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 long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conve rsation. 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 frien ds.\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* come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to tr y that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Wednesday\, May 20th\n\n1 Co me\, let us sing to the Lord\; *\nlet us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.\n2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *\nand rai se a loud shout to him with psalms.\n3 For the Lord is a great God\, *\nan d a great King above all gods.\n4 In his hand are the caverns of the earth \, *\nand the heights of the hills are his also.\n5 The sea is his\, for h e made it\, *\nand his hands have molded the dry land.\n6 Come\, let us bo w down\, and bend the knee\, *\nand kneel before the Lord our Maker.\n7 Fo r he is our God\,\nand we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of h is hand. *\nOh\, that today you would hearken to his voice!\n8 Harden not your hearts\,\nas your forebears did in the wilderness\, *\nat Meribah\, a nd on that day at Massah\,\nwhen they tempted me.\n9 They put me to the te st\, *\nthough they had seen my works.\n10 Forty years long I detested tha t generation and said\, *\n“This people are wayward in their hearts\;\nt hey do not know my ways.”\n11 So I swore in my wrath\, *\n“They shall not enter into my rest.”\n—Psalm 95\n\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/96 865808923\, 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: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the Ba y Area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, mor e often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qu alities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the readings we choo se. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to something of supre me importance to us\n feel more connected to other beings or to the unive rse\n feel more intensely alive\n align our lives with our values\,\n p erceive 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:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
