Welcome to Soul Matters 2025-26!

Our groups are starting in the fourth week of September. These groups of 8 people explore the Soul Matters themes together twice a month, September – May. Its not too late to register for a group if you haven’t done so already. Send an email to no later than September 10 and we will let you know which groups have space for you.

If you don’t want to make a nine-month commitment, or are curious about Soul Matters, join Rev Roger on the second Sunday each month before the service starting in October. He will offer a drop in group to explore our monthly theme. In addition we are starting a Soul Matters at Home program for families with children. Stay tuned for more information.

Even if you don’t come to a group you can explore the topics on your own. This month we will explore the theme of Belonging. Here is the exercise we will be doing to spark our discussion.

Think of a community that you are a part of (UUSS or another) and consider these fill-in-the -blank questions:
