Program

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

Our topic to consider and discuss this week is: Recall a time (or a few moments) when you truly felt like you were alive -- a time when you felt like you were living your best life, soaking in every thing good, and being the best person you could be -- a time when you felt most connected to the world around you and/or most connected to your inner self.

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

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

Our question to consider and discuss this week is: What is the goal of Spiritual Practice? We'll come at this question from many angles: What do we as individuals hope to achieve through awakening our spirituality? What do we as a small group hope to accomplish from our gatherings and discussions? What does anyone who practices their spirituality (however you define that act) hope to "get" from it?

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

Our topic to consider and discuss this week is: Prayer & Meditation. Do you pray regularly or only in times of crisis? What do you get out of meditating? Have you reaped rewards from prayer or meditation? How do you respond when others tell you that they pray for you?

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

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

Our questions to consider and respond to this week is: Why are we here? Besides our biological impetus to procreate, what are we "supposed" to do with our lives? How do we make meaning from our lives, and what do we hope to accomplish before we die?

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

Our question to consider and respond to this week is: What happens when we die? For many, a belief in some sort of afterlife or rebirth is not only comforting, but also a motivation to live well in this life. For others, not having a belief in any sort of life after death makes living each day all the more precious. 

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

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

Our question to consider and respond to this week is two-fold: How you define your spirituality? What, if anything, do you gain from defining your spirituality? Many of us expressed a sense of liberation when we no longer clung to a religious affliation or moniker. Do we limit or burden ourselves when we define our spirituality, or is our spirituality strengthened by definition? 

We'll dig into those questions, and figure out what our next topic will be after this.

The Lake Fellowship congregation will not meet again until the fall. Please check this website for updates and invitations to summer activities.

This marks our final formal gathering of the season. We'll host a talent show open to anyone and everyone, and we'll conclude with a potluck cookout. Bring your smile, your talent, a dish to share and something to grill.

Doug Miller joins us today to speak on behalf of Consumer Advocates in American Real Estate (CAARE). CAARE is the only non-profit charity dedicated to consumerism with real estate brokers. The real estate industry may be the most corrupt in the U.S.. There is so much miss-information about house buying and selling that is proliferated through main stream sources that consumers don't stand a chance. Real estate licensees are also recipients of this miss-information and often unknowing victims.

Shorewood resident Patricia Hauser will speak to us today on the plight of our local bees and on the growing epidemic regarding colony collapse. Come to learn about what is happening, and what you can do to help to create a bee safe community of cities in the Western Suburbs.
