ngathering is our kick–off to the church year. Let's come together once more to renew our bonds and celebrate the journey ahead. Return Again Finding the sacred ground where we are made and remade Return again, Return again, Return to the home of your soul. Return to who you are, Return to what you are, Return to where you are born and reborn again. – Shlomo Carlebach In a world constantly in motion, fractured by noise, change, and uncertainty, we offer a sacred invitation: Return Again. This theme year is a spiritual journey back to center, a reclaiming of what grounds us in ourselves, in each other, and in the Divine, however we name it. Return Again speaks to the deep human longing for home – not only the physical place, but the spiritual, ancestral, and communal homes we carry within. It is a call to listen for the still small voice amid the clamor of modern life, and to remember who we are, where we come from, and what we are called to become. Over the course of this year, we will move through a rhythm of return that invites depth, vulnerability, courage, and imagination: Return to the Home of Your Soul Ancestors of Faith Breaking Open Return to Who You Are Reclaiming Religious Language Reimagining and Remaking Come as you are. Bring your questions, your longings, your weariness, and your hope. Together, let us return, remember, and reimagine. First Unitarian Church of Dallas is devoted to genuine inclusion, depth and joy, reason and spirit. We have been a voice of progressive religion in Dallas since 1899, working toward a more just and compassionate world in all of what we do. We hope that when you come here your life is made more whole through experiences of love and service, spiritual growth, and an open exploration of the divine.
