Welcome

   

Join us Sunday, October 25, 2026 for our Sunday Morning Service at 10:30 am

 “The UUCT Meditation Sangha Service”

Guest Speakers – Meditation Group

Kim Thomas-Robe, Brian and Kimberly Slaterly-Gaston, and Grant Wilson

For at least the last 40 years, UUCT has had an active meditation group. We who regularly attend and practice meditation like to see the ongoing meditation group as the spiritual heart and soul of our religious community. Sunday’s service will introduce congregants to its own “UUCT Meditation Sangha.” A sangha is a group of like-minded folks who are learning together to practice becoming more mindfully aware of a richer inner and outer life possible through regular meditation practice. The service will be led by the four group facilitators: Kim Thomas Robe, Brian and Kimberly Slaterly-Gaston, and Grant Wilson. They will share with us: 1.) how to meditate, 2.) a bit of history of the church’s two meditation groups over time, and 3.) a beginning and closing short meditation. We look forward to seeing and sharing with you this congregation’s meditating tradition. Who knows, you may even become interested in attending our Tuesday evening meditations. Namaste
