Announcing Our 2024-25 Monthly Themes

1 September 2024

We are thrilled to announce the Monthly Themes for the 2024-2025 year at BridgesUU. Each month will offer a unique lens through which we can explore and deepen our spiritual journeys together. These themes will guide our worship, reflection, and community engagement throughout the year.

Our efforts will be in communion with the Article II change in the Unitarian Universalist Association Bylaws and an exploration on organizational centering love within our congregational systems.

September: Welcome Home
As we embark on a new congregational year, we embrace the concept of “Welcome Home.” This month, we’ll focus on creating spaces of belonging, celebrating the warmth of our shared faith, and welcoming newcomers into our community with open hearts.

October: Love as the Center
October invites us to place love at the very heart of our lives. We will explore how love can guide our actions, decisions, and interactions, grounding us in compassion and empathy.

November: Love as Interdependence
In November, we will reflect on the theme of interdependence, recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings. Our focus will be on nurturing relationships and building supportive networks within and beyond our congregational walls.

December: Divine Light
As we move into December, we will celebrate the theme of Divine Light. We’ll explore how light symbolizes hope, guidance, and the divine presence in our lives, especially during the darkest time of the year.

January: Love as Pluralism
January’s theme is “Love as Pluralism,” encouraging us to embrace and celebrate the diversity within our communities. We will reflect on how love can bridge differences and foster inclusivity and understanding.

February: Love as Justice
In February, our focus will be on “Love as Justice.” We will examine how love calls us to act for justice, challenge inequalities, and work towards a more equitable world for all.

March: Love as Transformation
March invites us to consider “Love as Transformation.” We will explore how love has the power to inspire change, personal growth, and renewal in our lives and communities.

April: Love as Generosity
April’s theme, “Love as Generosity,” will guide us in examining how acts of kindness and giving enrich our lives and strengthen our communal bonds.

May: Love as Equity
In May, we will reflect on “Love as Equity,” focusing on how love can drive us to seek fairness and balance in our relationships and social structures.

June: Love as Celebration
Our year concludes in June with “Love as Celebration.” We will honor the joy and gratitude that comes from our shared experiences, milestones, and achievements, celebrating the vibrant community we’ve built together.

We look forward to exploring these themes with you and deepening our collective journey through the year. May each theme inspire and uplift us as we walk this path together.

With warmth and anticipation,

BridgesUU Team
