Jane Jacobs on the similarities between economies and nature

This Sunday, Nov. 4, through the magic of the internet, we'll meet the late Jane Jacobs, a home-grown, organic visionary on the systems by which people live together successfully in communities. Though she passed away in 2006, her legacy provides inspiration and wisdom for the ages. Here's a sample: click here.
Please join us for a delightful hour. We welcome you, warmly.

No Adult Forum, but a great Gratitude Dinner after church

We're giving up our space on Sunday morning to make room for the Gratitude Dinner following the church service. Please join us. All you need to bring is an appetite and good thoughts.
Hope to see you there.

The Extraordinary rejuvenating power of music

This week's Adult Forum (October 21st) is based on an incredible piece of video footage from the work of Dr. Oliver Sachs with the power of music and the response it can elicit from otherwise poorly responsive patients. The video speaks for itself. Please take 6 minutes to watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyZQf0p73QM&feature=endscreen&NR=1
Sunday morning, we'll watch it together and then we'll listen to some of your favorite music and talk about its power. This'll be fun! Please join us.
As ever, loving childcare is provided.

The Lost Gospels, Part III

This coming Sunday, October 14th, we'll view and discuss the final part of the Peter Jones' film, "The Lost Gospels." This part covers several topics, including varying views on the identity of Jesus and the nature of Christ and the meaning of Jesus' crucifixion as viewed through the gospel of Peter, and it's potential impact of Christian theology.
Please join us for what is always a lively and intelligent discussion.
As usual, loving childcare is provided.

The Lost Gospels, Part II, Women

This coming Sunday, October 7, we will watch the second part of "The Lost Gospels" (from minute 26 through 43 if you follow the link to the video: here) This portion of the film examines the gospels of Phillip and Mary, both of which indicate a prominent role for women in the leadership of the early Christian church -- a role that was not consistent with that which followed the canonization of the scriptures as we know them.
Please join us for the viewing and the almost certain interesting discussion that follows. We'll be delighted to see you. As ever, loving childcare is provided.
