| December’s Theme: The Practice of Presence UUSRF is following the UUA curriculum Soul Matters this year. Each month has a theme and accompanying resources. Spiritually, presence can mean two quite different things. Contemplatives talk of “being present.” Presence from this perspective is all about awareness and remembering to “live in the moment.” Theologians tend to come at presence from the perspective of a hidden and divine “otherness.” Their concern is not just that we pay attention to the present moment, but that we notice a transcendent Presence woven through all moments. Hope for Earth – “Climate Change: What We All Can Do To Help” A virtual talk given by Terry L Root Professor Emerita at Stanford University at theRiver Falls Public Library on Thursday, December 5 from 6:30 – 7:30.
