Deep Dive Sunday: Our Fourth Principle and Immigration
2025-10-12 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Washington

Donald Trump speaks of undocumented immigrants as rapists, murderers, gang members, and drug lords. Immigration Rights activists speak of an inhumane immigration crisis involving kidnappings, disappearances, and the separation of families. ICE agents complain of a drastic increase in assaults, doxing, and threats to their families. What are we to do?
Join us in our first Deep Dive Sunday. We will pick up on the August 24th and 31st Sunday services, which focused on our fourth principle: affirming and promoting a free and responsible search for truth. Let’s get some perspective, put things in context, and determine what a compassionate response might look like.
Please bring your smart phones, laptops, or tablets. You will be divided into groups of six to search out the answers to some prompting questions and then engage in discussion. Expect this service to last 90 minutes.
Instead of time for all ages, children should proceed directly upstairs to Children’s Chapel upon arrival.

————————————-
The UUCNH Meditation Group will explore the contemplative practice of meditation. Together we will learn and practice various types of meditation, including meditation on breath, mindfulness meditation, and loving-kindness meditation. Sessions will last between 45-60 minutes, 30 of which will consist of guided meditation, with the remaining time reserved for questions and discussion. Please join us; no registration required.
Meditation is an ancient contemplative practice that permeates cultural and religious boundaries, with roots in most faith traditions. It can also be a totally secular practice. While our group will primarily explore meditation practices that are prominent in the Buddhist tradition, these teachings will be applicable to individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs, aligning with our Unitarian Universalist principles of acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
To begin, we will use guided meditation recordings from the Insight Meditation Center, specifically their Introduction to Mindfulness series. Each recording provides context and basic instruction, with additional guidance throughout the session. A gentle bell will signal the conclusion of the meditation, after which we can take a few minutes to reflect and share our experiences. We may also incorporate a brief loving-kindness meditation at the beginning to help settle and gladden the mind, making it more conducive to mindfulness meditation. Our program will evolve over time, and we welcome feedback and suggestions.
Our group embraces this timeless spiritual practice to foster a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us. Whether you seek insight, relaxation, or a sense of community sitting together in silence, we welcome you to join us on a journey of mindfulness, concentration, and compassion.

There’s something about ukulele that just makes me smile!
