SUMMARY:Sacred Text Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Text Reading Group  \n\n\nA weekly online sacred text re
 ading group with Amy\n\nUsing a spiritual-practice approach\, in each sess
 ion we will explore a different brief scriptural text in depth. The aims o
 f the sessions are educational (learning something about the texts and tra
 ditions)\, spiritual/moral (discovering what the texts ask of us)\, and co
 mmunity-building (getting to know each other better). Amy will have a vers
 ion of the text available to share\; “bring” your own if you like. All
  are welcome\, as are your suggestions of future texts. About half our rea
 dings so far have been those suggested by group members.\n\n\nOur text for
  Saturday\, August 28\, 2021 is "Prayer at Sunrise\," by James Weldon John
 son:\n\n\n\nO mighty\, powerful\, dark-dispelling sun\,\nNow thou art rise
 n\, and thy day begun.\nHow shrink the shrouding mists before thy face\,\n
 As up thou spring’st to thy diurnal race!\nHow darkness chases darkness 
 to the west\,\nAs shades of light on light rise radiant from thy crest!\nF
 or thee\, great source of strength\, emblem of might\,\nIn hours of darkes
 t gloom there is no night.\nThou shinest on though clouds hide thee from s
 ight\,\nAnd through each break thou sendest down thy light.\n\nO greater M
 aker of this Thy great sun\,\nGive me the strength this one day’s race t
 o run\,\nFill me with light\, fill me with sun-like strength\,\nFill me wi
 th joy to rob the day its length.\nLight from within\, light that will out
 ward shine\,\nStrength to make strong some weaker heart than mine\,\nJoy t
 o make glad each soul that feels its touch\;\nGreat Father of the sun\, I 
 ask this much.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you're new (either to UUCPA or to the gro
 up) and would like to get acquainted\, Amy and whichever group members can
  manage it will be there ten minutes early and will also stay afterwards--
 we'd love to have a little getting-to-know-you time.\n\nHow to join:\n\n
