May 4, 2008 "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Why is it that the story of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Lion keep drawing us in year after year after year? Rev. Julie Denny-Hughes has some ideas she will be happy to share with us. Wear your ruby slippers! Service Leader: Sallie Killian.
May 11, 2008 “Animals I Have Parented.” Jennifer Blue will talk about the relationships we have with our pets. In addition, Carol Sroczynski will recognize RE teachers and graduating seniors will be congratulated by the congregation and their families. This will be an intergenerational service. Service leader: Carol Sroczynski.
May 18, 2008 “Ruminations on a Utilitarian Conception of God: A Drum Service." Peter Carels, Hopedale member, will present a service in which we unite in "creative play" -- interspersed with meditations on God and the nature of play. Service leader: Robert Bell. POTLUCK will follow service.
May 25, 2008 "To Those Who Don't Believe: Have Faith." Annie Foerster joins us once again, this time to discuss varieties of belief among us. She says, “I was raised by an atheist mother and sent to Sunday School to figure out the truth for myself. I did, but our conclusions weren't the same. Seems there are almost as many denominations of Atheists as there are Christians.” Service Leader: Patty Klingenberg.
We covenant to affirm and promote:
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to
spiritual growth in our congregation.
