SoulCreations Gallery
At the Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, we are a vibrant learning community. Each week, members of all ages come together after our services to explore our monthly SoulMatters themes. As we do so, we join a nationwide community of Unitarian Universalist congregations participating in this spiritually-nourishing program.
Our community offers a variety of SoulMatters classes—whether it’s children’s religious education or adult discussion groups, writing workshops, or art sessions—providing opportunities to deepen our spirituality and learn from one another as we reflect together on our themes. Regardless of age, everyone has wisdom to share, sometimes expressed through art and writing, such as material created by our SoulMatters UUWriters or Creativity Matters students.
Below, you’ll find creative reflections from our community on our monthly themes. If you’re a participant in our SoulMatters program and have reflected artistically on our monthly theme in your classroom or at home, we invite you to contribute to our community gallery below.
