HARVESTFEST IS COMING! Save the date, Saturday October 21, 2023. Be part of the fun, please volunteer to help out with this important community outreach and fundraiser. We can still use help with the planning too. Be on the lookout for more information and chances to sign up to help. Any questions contact Sue Corman at radar3018@comcast.net. 

Our popular course: Aging & Spirituality will be offered again beginning September 26 from 12-3:00 PM. It will last eight weeks. Deacon Nancy has worked hard to revised the curriculum based upon the comments and suggestions of the first group.

It begins with a session on the aging process. We then move on to the Enneagram, spiritual needs and practices, discerning spiritual gifts, transitioning from a worldly-self (ego-self) to more true-self, and discerning vocation – the use of our spiritual gifts. Another session is on moving our idea of death from taboo to welcome. Classes cover discussion of the text  for the week and then move into the topic for the day. There will be small group, individual, and full group work as well as lecture and discussion. For the $35 registration fee each participant will be given the syllabus, the text, two articles about “shadow side,” and a link to a You Tube video by the author of the text. (Readings and video should be completed before the course begins.) You will also receive a book with all the PowerPoint slides on the first day of class. We will be able to take 12 participants in this offering. It is suggested you register early to get a place and to begin reading!

Time and dates:

Tuesdays, September 26 through November 14, 12:00pm to 3:00pm

Cost: $35
