January 19 – “Called To Be Light”

Jan 12 – “The Power of Doubt”
It seems the powers that be would want doubt to be our frame of mind- to not know what is true so we don’t act. But Doubt is freeing if wielded as a truth teller, an act that clarifies and frees the truth. Let’s exercise our Doubt. Led by Rev. Jim Parrish.

Dec 15 – Scriptures for the Season
We are surrounded by religious and secular seasonal celebrations this time of year, with a lot of meaning for some, and little for others depending on traditions and belief. Scriptures, or texts that contain/explain beliefs and philosophies important to how one lives their life play into and inform these celebrations. There are obvious, and not so obvious scriptures for Christmas, Hanukkah, and even Solstice celebration. What are your scriptures for life? Bring your book, or poem, the title of your “scripture” for living to share.
Dec 8: Making Ready: A Season of Anticipation and Preparation.
Led by Melly, with Christmas jazz by RJ, Mike, and Renée and carols for all! Please bring an ornament or two to help decorate our gathering space. We will share the plate with Peace at Home Shelter.
Sharing the Plate: Each year Peace at Home works with hundreds of survivors of violence in our community as they work to rebuild their lives. Loose collection plate money and specially-designated cash/checks (please write “share plate” on envelope or check memo line) will be given to this valuable local organization.
