Program

Lake Fellowship is pleased to welcome back guest speaker, Lee Stagg.

Lee will present on this month's theme of Courage. More information to come.

Lee Stagg has been an English and Theory of Knowledge teacher and program coordinator in the St. Paul Schools for over 25 years. He holds two master’s degrees in teaching English and Systematic Theology. Having moved from evangelical roots in the American south, through a more progressive Christianity, he is now a firm agnostic, yet retains a deep interest in studying philosophy, theology, the bible, and related topics.

It is said that if we can name a fear, we can tame it. So what happens when we not only name a fear, but sit with it, listen to it, and maybe even hold it in a loving embrace? 

Join LFUU member Marnie Karger for a slightly deeper dive into an often overlooked side of courage: the courage to sit with and agree with fear. This interactive program will include clips from a video interview with Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön, group discussion, and reflection.

To prepare for this program, Marnie invites you to consider the following questions:

Lake Fellowship warmly welcomes back guest speaker, Andy Fletcher for a program related to the courage it takes to change how you think about everything. 

Andy will be joining us via Zoom for this program from his home in Colorado.

Join Lake Fellowship member Marnie Karger in an exploration of this month's theme: Courage. 

This program will invite participants to challenge themselves, work collaboratively, and gather some courage as we explore our theme. Some topics we may cover include:

It can be good to begin from something solid. The yoga tradition describes practice as steady and comfortable at the same time, both firm enough to hold you and loose enough that you can still breathe. Lake Fellowship member Matthew Tift will lead a morning of simple practices and discussion about finding that balance, whether you're starting a new practice, a new season, or a conversation you've been putting off.

Join Lake Fellowship member Marnie Karger in an exploration of this month's theme: Beginnings. We'll start by considering what it means to "begin." What is gained? What is left behind? Why are beginnings sometimes equally scary and exciting? From there, we'll move to a discussion about the beginning of our various journeys that, despite having different starting points, have led all of us to Lake Fellowship.

Please join us, for our final program of the 2025 - 2026 program year!  This year, we're continuing our "Photo of the Year" feature, in which we will be sharing our "Photo of the Year" with one another, in a slideshow presentation format. We'd like you to select your single favorite photo from the past year. You don't need to have taken the photo, but if you use someone else's work, please be sure to credit the photographer. The photo can be of any family-friendly subject: historic, natural, portrait, or scenic -- whatever you'd like to share.

Please direct any questions about this event to Marnie K.

Lake Fellowship member Marnie Karger will lead a program to explore May's theme: Awakening Curiosity. We'll warm up our curiosity muscles before trying a hands-on activity to explore how and why being curious can help us live out our shared values.
