Everyday Joy

Together let’s turn our focus to finding joy in ordinary moments and simple things. How do we cultivate “everyday joy,” and what are the attitudes and behaviors that get in the way of it? Join us to learn how to bring more joy into your everyday life. 

The Gnostic Resurrection

On this Easter Sunday let’s examine some alternative interpretations of the Resurrection of Jesus – those described in the Gnostic Gospels. The Gnostic Gospels are early Christian texts that are quite different those in the New Testament. What do these ancient texts have to tell us about the early years of Christianity?

World Religions and the Dearly Departed

World religions offer diverse perspectives on death and the afterlife, ranging from beliefs in judgment and eternal rewards or punishments to reincarnation and the cycle of life and death. Join us to learn about the many interpretations of human mortality throughout the world’s religions.

God is a Sardine Player

In this month’s focus on imagination, let’s reflect on Robert Fulghum’s story about hide and seek and the nature of God. Join us to examine an imagining of the divine as dynamic, relational, and continually evolving. What if God was a process?
