Packets

In collaboration with First Universalist Church of Rochester and the UU Church of Canandaigua, these 10-12 page documents, or “packets” for Spiritual Deepening are published each season, as a way for you to connect with, reflect upon, and directly experience the theme of the season. You can always explore the packet on your own, with friends, or in a Soul Matters circle.
