Wellspring Wednesday

Wellspring Wednesday at Unity Church has long been a multi-generational opportunity to gather midweek at church for food, fellowship, worship, spiritual deepening and learning. Although the church building has reopened for programming and, in mid-September, we will resume in-person worship, we are not able to serve food at this time because masking in the building is required. We hope to return to Wellspring Wednesday meals in the future as Covid-19 protocols allow.

In-person multi-generational Wellspring Wednesday chapel is held each week, from 6:00-6:30 p.m., in the Ames Chapel. It will be led by Unity’s Religious Education staff and will include more music, especially from members.

Wellspring Wednesday adult programming this month will include weekly in-person listening sessions hosted by the Ministerial Search Team in parish hall starting at 7:00 p.m. See below for more information. Additional online Wellspring Wednesday programs, running 7:00-8:30 p.m., are also listed below. Unless otherwise noted, you can use the registration link right up until the program starts to participate. Please join us – and invite a friend!

Open Page: Writing on the theme of sacrifice
7:00-8:30 p.m. • Online • Register Here
“The law of every living thing is growth,” writes Susan Griffin, “through love, through willing sacrifice, or both.” This writing session explores what sacrifices are asked of us today. And how might we respond? For writers and nonwriters alike. Participants bring whatever you need to write (paper and pen or electronic device) and Karen will provide the rest.

Listening Session with the Ministerial Search Team
7:00-8:30 p.m. • In-person at Unity Church

Please join Unity’s Ministerial Search Team for a Listening Session. What is it? An opportunity to respond to four questions with your answers helping to guide the search for Unity’s next settled minister. Each session is one and a half hours long and participants will be divided into small groups so that all voices are heard. This is a chance to have a conversation with others about our collective future. Listening Sessions will be held online each Wednesday during October.

October 27

St. Paul’s Path Toward Reparations
7:00-8:30 p.m. • Online • Register Here
On January 13, 2021, the City of Saint Paul passed resolution 21-77 which apologized for holding Dred Scott in military slavery at Fort Snelling The resolution also apologized for the destruction of the Rondo community via I-94 and for the city's role in practicing institutional racism against the American Descendants of Chattel Slavery. It also commits to building generational wealth for its Black residents. Saint Paul is one of a handful of cities in the United States to pass a reparations resolution.

Join Jane Prince (Unity Church member and St. Paul City Council member) and her colleague Trahern Crews, both newly appointed to the St. Paul Reparations Legislative Advisory Committee, for a discussion on the next steps and how you can be involved in this transformational work.
