(Wednesdays, Oct. 7-Nov. 18, 7-9 pm) Led by Becky Brooks.
Search through your own religious history and spiritual development in order to identify the values and beliefs that form your core faith identity. Through discussion, exercises, homework, and reflection, participants will create spiritual autobiographies, examine the ways we make meaning in our lives, and develop a personal credo statement.
(Wednesdays, Oct. 21-Dec. 9, 7-8:30 pm) Led by Doreion Colter.
We will examine the history of the Pre-Nicene church. We will be examining the first three hundred years of the church and its struggle for survival. We will be examining its practices, beliefs, doctrines, and the nature of faith tempered with reason that is "faith based upon reason."
(Sundays, Nov. 1- 22)
Participants will be matched into Pen Pal Pairs and each Sunday (Nov. 1-22) will bring in a letter for their "Pal" written on a topic announced the previous Sunday. Matches will be announced by Oct. 25, along with the topic for the first week's exchange. This is a great way to get to know a fellow congregant better while thinking deeply about "Big Questions."
(Saturday, Dec. 5) Led by Rev. David Carl Olson.
Our minister presents an opportunity to consider the classic Biblical texts of the preparatory season before Christmas. Considering the words of the Hebrew prophets—especially understood by the writers of the early Jesus movement—we will spend a half-day in retreat with singing, visual art, commentary and meditation.
