SUMMARY:Exploring Sacred Bonds ~ Fairlawn Fall Study with Rev. Jean Ward ~ Online
DESCRIPTION:Join us in-person or on Zoom to explore the sacred bonds of belonging\, relationship and reciprocity through two books: \nBraiding Sweetgrass – Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer\, 2013 \n“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal\, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth\, the earth heals us.” \n“The land knows you\, even when you are lost.” \n“Knowing that you love the earth changes you\, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return\, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.” \nThe Woman Who Went To The Moon – Poems of Igloolik by Rosemary Clewes\, 2017 \n“… these poems will speak to those for whom body\, soul\, and naming are not divisible.”

SUMMARY:Alpha - In Person - Daytime
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a safe space to discuss life’s big questions? You’re at the right spot! Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith\, meaning and life. \nEach session looks at a different question\, and is designed to create conversation. There’s no pressure\, no follow-up and no charge; it’s just an open\, informal\, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together. \nOffered IN-PERSON 11 weeks course starting on Wednesday September 20\,2023 – November 29\,2023 from 10:00 to 11:30am at NBUC \nVideo.\nThe videos are designed to be engaging and inspire conversation. Usually around 30 minutes long\, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity\, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”\, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?” \nSmall Group Discussion.\nProbably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas about the talk without being corrected or judged. There’s no obligation to say anything; it’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective. \nCheck out the first session to see if this is something you would like to explore! \nAll are welcome!
