Love | the February Theme
See Sunday Gatherings
x
Love is our Soul Matters theme for the month of February. Not romantic love or sentimental love but the deeper more robust kind of love we associate with justice and commitment, the kind of long haul love that keeps us going even when times are challenging and life is complicated. This month we will be exploring love as the ground and center of our UU faith, as the motivation for curiosity and engagement with the natural world, as intimately entwined with grief and transformation and as the glue that holds Beloved Community together.  As Side with Love’s 30 Days of Love winds down, our UU Santa Fe month of Love is just beginning. Our Community partner this month is CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) First District - a group that work to support children navigating the court system here in Santa Fe.
