The Spiritual Practice of Dropping the Ball

What might become possible if we stopped treating perfection as a spiritual goal? The practice of dropping the ball invites us to examine the expectations we carry, choose more deliberately what matters, and make room for failure, forgiveness, and grace. Because wholeness doesn’t mean getting everything right. It means learning to bring our whole, imperfect selves to the lives we are actually living.

By Rev. Sarah Prickett

With music by Danny Gallegos and Jaunetta Cooper

The Congregation Is the Curriculum How do we become Unitarian Universalists?

Faith formation isn’t just something that happens in a classroom—or something we finish when we grow up. We are formed by what we practice together: worship and service, leadership and conflict, showing up for one another, making decisions, asking hard questions, and trying again when we get it wrong.

We’ll explore some of the places where your faith has been formed, discover how Northwoods creates opportunities for growth, and maybe even identify a next step on your own path. (Pathways Pop-Ups are interactive, drop-in sessions for newer folks as well as longtime members who want to explore Unitarian Universalism and life at Northwoods.)

Food on the First

Food on the First is this Sunday. We invite you to bring nonperishable food items such as peanut butter, canned beans and vegetables, tuna, pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese (especially the type that doesn’t require extra ingredients), rice, cereal, canned fruit, and other shelf-stable staples. Items that are easy to prepare and kid-friendly are especially helpful. In addition to donated food items, all plate collections on the First will be given directly to the local food bank to help provide fresh food and other essential supplies. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us care for our community in this tangible and compassionate way.
