BYOT: Building Your Own Theology

We invite you (and those you know) to join us this Sunday for another discussion.

Our topic to consider and discuss this week will be "preventing bad". We tend to be better about solving problems than preventing them. How can we tap into our spirituality to minimize the negativity and mistakes in our lives?

We'll share our thoughts, and figure out what our next topic will be after this. As always, come with an open mind, and an open heart.

BYOT: Building Your Own Theology

We invite you (and those you know) to join us this Sunday for another discussion.

Our topic to consider and discuss this week will be tithing. By definition, tithing is donating one-tenth of something -- from your annual crop to your annual income -- for a religious and/or charitable cause. What would modern day tithing look like if managed and spent effectively? Could we affect real change through tithing today?

We'll share our thoughts, and figure out what our next topic will be after this. As always, come with an open mind, and an open heart.

What is a Humanist?

Fellowship member Chris Hall will do a program on common characteristics of a humanist and some characteristics not necessary to believe in to be a humanist.    This fall a religious believer might have said, "What beautiful colors God created this fall." A Fellowship member expressed a more humanist view, "Who would have known that the absence of chlorophyll could produce such beautiful color."

Walking with Spirit, Strolling with Soul

Labyrinths are ancient symbols that are experiencing a resurgence of interest in response to the needs of our contemporary society.  Through a photographic journey, we will explore the history of these meandering images from earliest known rock carvings to Gothic cathedral placements and to unique expressions that are being created today. How are these rediscovered paths being used? Where can they be found? Why are there so many in our immediate area?  These and other questions will be explored.
