Sunday School with Karen Nell
In November, as we get used to being indoors together, Christian Explorers will not meet after church. Instead, they will gather with their Sunday school friends in the sanctuary during worship to work on projects and activities. Watch for updated information about childcare going forward.
Absorbing the Warmth of Community and the Sun
Mondays at noon in a sunny (or shady) spot on our campus
Come enjoy the warmth of community, absorb a little sunshine, and share in conversation and prayer. If it’s raining, we will not gather.
Book Group with Karen Nell Smith
Mondays at 4:00pm
For November 8, we will read Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife by Eben Alexander. From Amazon’s book review, “Dr. Alexander’s brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back…” Learn more here. Watch the weekly emails for our next read after that. The group read about 100 pages a week, then meets for an hour or so on zoom with questions to spark our discussion. New members are most welcome ~ join us for interesting reading, spirited conversation and lots of laughter! Contact Karen Nell at choresis@comcast.net for the zoom invitation, reading assignment and questions for reflection.
Picnic Lunch Bunch with Debbie
First and third Wednesdays at noon (11/3, 11/17)
Weather-permitting, Lunch Bunch will continue to meet outdoors this fall, gathering in the shade near Edwards Hall. If it gets too cold, we will move into Sue Dickerman Hall or to Zoom.
Bible Study Dives into John’s Gospel!
Second and Fourth Wednesdays at 4:30pm (11/10, 11/24)
The Wednesday evening Bible Study is enjoying our study of the Gospel According to John. Already we are in awe of the glorious poetry and the unique set of questions John raises. We are only just getting started; it’s not too late to join in. Now that the evenings are darker, we will move into an indoor-hybrid model. You can come in person and join us in Edwards Hall, with plenty of space and two air filters, or join via Zoom.
“Flowers and Fluff of Hope and Healing“ with Fran Bogle
Thursdays at 1:00pm
This group begins with nature photos as a jumping off place for people to share stories and prayers. Participants are welcome to share their own photos and prayer moments connected to nature. Email Fran (fbog@aol.com) if you would like to join.
Music Appreciation with Rick
Thursdays at 6:30pm
Throughout our virtual period, Rick Seaholm has been talking music on Thursday evenings, and new learners are always welcome. No music knowledge is required. We talk about composers, their works, and the many patterns that emerge when you look at music across the centuries. You will get exposed to score reading and critical listening, and hopefully take some skills which you might be able to use in your own mindfulness practice.
Bible Study with Karen Nell Smith
Fridays at 4:00pm
All are welcome to join us in this continuation of our Sunday morning Bible Study group. Each week we gather to check in with each other, read the scripture for the upcoming Sunday morning service, reflect, share and pray. Please email Karen Nell (choresis@comcast.net) for an invitation to join the group.
