The Pathfinders Youth Class is using the Soul Matter “Becoming” Coming of Age curricula this year.
Becoming is built around a particular framing of the spiritual life, inspired by the work being done at the Sacred Design Lab. This frame views the spiritual life as made up of three dimensions and accompanying questions:
Belonging – To whom or what do I belong?
Becoming – Who am I becoming?
Beyond – What is beyond me?
This hybrid service will be in the Sanctuary at Greater Nashville UU Congregation and on Zoom. See How to Join a Virtual Service at GNUUC. The Wiggle Room is available off the sanctuary for those who need it.
After service, please join us for a potluck lunch.
The Worship Team has changed its meetings to in-person/hybrid on the 2nd Sunday of the month at 1 PM in the Sanctuary.

In Part 2 of our Climate Justice Revival we will work on our congregation action plan! It is NOT necessary for you to have attended in the Fall to attend.
For the first time in…ever…the entire UU ecosystem is organizing for climate justice action. We all know how desperate the situation is, but even those of us who have been climate and environmental activists for a long time feel powerless. But, there’s power in numbers and thousands of UUs around the world are getting ready to join hands in September for a denominational Climate Justice Revival. Sponsored by the UUA, UUMFE, UUSC and a whole lot of other UU organizations—as well as our own leaders and thinkers on this subject—this Revival is designed to kick-start our activism and ongoing engagement in climate justice work.
Our congregation will:
-Create a complex representation of the challenging realities and liberatory possibilities for climate justice in our unique context
-Develop a vision of a flourishing future
-Identify a clear set of potential actions that we can take to realize this vision
-Enable participants to understand their roles in the interdependent ecosystem of creating climate justice and collective liberation.
These kinds of things don’t happen often. Our churches all stand alone and apart. Collaboration is difficult, let alone a decision for every UU congregation to join in this Revival at the same time. We’ll all have the same materials, our leaders were trained with other UUs, and when it’s over, we’ll be part of the national conversation moving our climate work forward. It’s exciting just on the face of it, and the day itself is looking like a lot of fun.
Join us for a special Worship Service to celebrate our participation in the UU Climate Justice Revival and Easter Sunday!
If you are able, also plan to participate in the UU Climate Justice Workshop at GNUUC the previous Saturday, April 19.
