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.
We invite you (and those you know) to join us this Sunday for another discussion.
We're delighted to welcome back Richard Terrill and Larry Mc Donough for another musical performance. The local jazz duo, with their quartet, has recently released a holiday album (http://larrymcdonoughjazz.homestead.com/Angels.html) and will be performing songs from there and from their larger repertoire. When not playing his saxophone or writing poetry, Richard teaches in the MFA program at Minnesota State University, Mankato as a Distinguished faculty scholar.

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.
Dan Larson will present a TED Talk video, and moderate a discussion afterward. The talk we'll see is given by journalist, Glenn Greenwald, titled "Why Privacy Matters." You may watch the video ahead of time if you like via the following link:

If you have any questions, please contact either Marnie Karger or Dave Wahlstedt.
Today we celebrate the season with our annual Thanksgiving potluck. Before we eat we will spend some time sharing what makes each of us thankful. Please watch for a sign-up sheet for bringing food to share.
