Sacred Rest (In Person)
Sacred Rest (In Person)
January 12, 2025 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Senior High Youth Room
You were not just born to center your entire existence on work and labor. You were born to heal, to grow, to be of service to yourself and community, to practice, to experiment, to create, to have space, to dream, and to connect. ~ Tricia Hersey in Rest is Resistance
You deserve time to rest. Come and practice in community. In-person Sacred Rest on Jan. 12 will be in the Senior High Youth Room. Bring water, a journal, and/or blanket if you wish. On fourth Sundays (next on Jan. 26), the Central IL Religious Educators will facilitate a guided rest experience on Zoom for our four congregations in Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Peoria, and Springfield. Create a comfortable nest with a blanket or pillow, grab some water, and bring a journal if you wish. We’ll draw from the work of Tricia Hersey. To receive the link, email Jesi at DLRE@PeoriaUUChurch.org or sign up by clicking here.

Finding Your Place in the Resistance
Finding Your Place in the Resistance
January 18, 2025 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Soup & Potluck to Follow; Childcare Available
When we look at our world, we might see many things we want to change. Maybe these issues seem too big to tackle; maybe you don’t know how you can help make a difference. Let’s spend a morning exploring ways we can each meet the needs of this moment by using our unique skills in sustainable ways. As we do the work of bending the arc of the universe, we know this moment requires consistent attention, deep reflection, and committed collective action. It cannot be a flash of action and a resumption of the status quo. In order to prepare ourselves for this endeavor, we will learn from the work of Deepa Iyer’s Social Change Now and Omkari L. Williams’s Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World (Without a Bullhorn). No need to read the books; we’ll be learning the principles, discussing ideas, and considering if the framework would help us. Soup, bread, and nourishment of all kinds will follow; bring an item to share if you like. RSVP to Jesi Laughlin at DLRE@peoriauuchurch.org or sign up by clicking here.
