Sharing Your Passions
This Sunday, we invite everyone to share their passions with the group in an informal show and tell discussion. What's a passion? Anything you do, or have done in the past that adds good to the world, even in the smallest of ways. From raking yards for neighbors, to calling local representatives to promote social justice; from volunteering at a school, to tending a garden that brings smiles to passersby; from devoting your career to helping those who cannot help themselves, to holding a door for a stranger. These are all good things that are worthy of sharing.

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."

Embrace Conflict? Now That's a Dumb Idea
About the Program: We all experience interpersonal and internal conflict from time to time. At home, at work and even at church we have felt the sting of our differences. Depending on our level of emotional intelligence and ethnical ancestry, most of us are a little afraid of it or really afraid of it.
