SPIRITUAL PRACTICES FOR UUs
Leader: Pastor Karen Richter
When: This Offering May Be Rescheduled
Where: UUCS Social Hall
In this 3 week series participants will explore some spiritual practices with Pastor Karen and reflect on their experiences. The spiritual practice of sharing a meal will be part of the time together!
THE NEW TESTAMENT & REJECTED GNOSTIC GOSPELS
Leader: Sharon Moore
When: Sat., Nov. 2, 9, 16, 23
Where: UUCS Multipurpose Room
Sign-ups: At Questers Table or email Sharon Moore (leadmoore@gmail.com – Subject: Gnostic Gospels)
Many of us grew up with the New Testament, but as a church-goer we may never have received information about its creation. Who “wrote” the New Testament? Why was it created? Who selected what was included and not and why? These four 1 ½ hour sessions will focus on the creation of the New Testament in the first session, but the following sessions will examine and discuss the Gospels NOT included and why they’re called the Gnostic Gospels.
RELIGIOUS NATURALISM
Leader: David Moore
When: Wed., Nov. 13 & 20
Where: UUCS Social Hall
Sign-ups: At Questers Table or email Jeff London (jvlondon@yahoo.com – Subject: Religious Naturalism) There is currently a Waiting List as the Nov. 13 & 20 sessions are full. But if there is enough interest on the waiting list, David will offer an encore.
Religious naturalism offers a compelling perspective on humanity’s place in the universe. We will review this perspective then discuss how it informs responses to four of life’s persistent questions: What happens after we die? Who made us? What is our purpose in life? and How can we know right from wrong without God?
About the Leader: David and his wife, Sharon, joined UUCS in January 2023. In January 2024 he offered the Sunday reflection on the subject of Religious Naturalism. This offering is a chance to take a deeper dive into this path.
