Dec 15 – Scriptures for the Season

December 12, 2019 by Fawn Smith

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.

Oct 6: The True Creation Story.

October 8, 2019 by Fawn Smith

Religion is about our relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves about those relationships matter. There are many creation stories, as many as religions and some even scientific in nature, informing folks of what their relationship with the world/universe might look like.

Led by Rev. Jim Parrish, we explored some of the meanings and outcomes of “Creation Stories.”
