Our time in this place may have ended, but our
connection to each other and this community
remains. Together may we walk the path of
justice, speak words of love, live the selfless
deed, trod gently upon the earth, and fill the
world with compassion. Until we meet again,
blessed be.~ Kathy A. Huff

Topic: Interdependence – It’s More Than You Think
Speaker: Mark French
The topic description starts here. We tend to think of
interdependence in sociological terms. While that’s
probably correct as far as it goes, the idea of
interdependence is particularly important now, and in
two different ways….The first is that almost every
aspect of our lives is a reflection of how we depend on
other people all around the world. It’s fashionable
right now to talk about how we can separate ourselves
from other countries and their economies.
Sunday, April 2nd Service
Topic: You Can’t Hide
Speaker: Rev. Elizabeth Carrier-Ladd
Our experiences and vulnerabilities are a part of us,
whether we like it or not. How we handle this truth
matters. We cannot live our lives behind masks. Join
us as we explore how to have a healthy relationship
with our experiences and vulnerabilities.
Sunday, March 26h, Forum
Film: "An Elegant Solution to Save the Bees”
Moderator: Kathy Willowoode,
"Mycologist, Tribe member and founder of Fungi
Perfecti, Paul Stamets, recently revealed a
breakthrough discovery that has the potential to
change -and heal- our ecosystem. He proposes that
there is a missing link that can dramatically
influence bee health, and it’s right under our feet.
Yes, it’s mycelium."
Sunday, March 26th Service
Speaker: Kelly Besecke
Topic: Finding spiritual meaning in a society that
sometimes makes it hard to find.
Educated spiritual seekers are often looking for the
intersection between "what's inspiring" and "what
makes sense." In a society that can feel
increasingly demoralizing and nonsensical, what
are some of the tools that progressive religion
offers to help us find intellectually satisfying
spiritual meanings in our own lives and be
"activists for meaning" in the larger society?
