As UUs, how do we build spiritual connection through our Journey?

Each summer our church community engages in a summer spiritual exercise. We do this to keep our faith close to our heart, as we travel away with our minds or with our feet, committing to return to our home in the fall. OUR SUMMER EXERCISE:  Find a stone and bring it to church in September.
