Jan 12 – “The Power of Doubt”

January 6, 2020 by Fawn Smith

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.

**Today we’ll share the plate with Northwest Arkansas Food Bank- all loose collection plate money and specially-designated (write “share plate” on envelope or check memo line) will be given to this valuable community organization. Thanks for your generosity!**

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.
