October/November 2011 - The Secrets of Life & Death





On October 23rd we turn our attention from Ingathering, home and radical hospitality to begin an exploration of the secrets of life and death in both worship and adult religious education settings: How do we live life to the fullest? What happens to us when we die? What is our relationship with our ancestors? How can we affirm life when we are grieving? How do we live and love through death, and the lesser loses of aging, illness and trauma?




Sunday Worship



October 23rd - The Secret of Life - Rev. Jennifer
