Let's Talk — Rev. Gary Kowalski
Americans are socially isolated. As more and more people live alone, extended families disappear and civic participation declines, simple human contact and ordinary conversation are also becoming rare. A quarter of the population tell pollsters they have no one to talk with about significant personal issues. What can faith communities do to restore the web of human connection? Small group ministry, our minister suggests, offers a tested format for people to find deeper, more meaningful relationships and turn strangers into friends. Alex Andrews, a member of one of First Parish of Sudbury's Chalice Circles, will share her own experience with small group ministry, and a forum following the service will offer an opportunity to learn more about how to join and get involved.
Forum on small group ministry (Chalice Circles) at 11:15 in the Brackett Room
First Parish of Sudbury is a Unitarian Universalist congregation located at 327 Concord Road. The Meetinghouse is accessible to wheelchair users and those who are hearing impaired. We embrace diversity and are intentional about the participation of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons in all aspects of congregational life. We welcome all who wish to explore their own spiritual journeys in the company of others and any who are seeking a liberal religious community of faith.
Calendar
Gary will lead a book discussion group starting January 8 from 7:00-8:30 pm in the Brackett Room using Huston Smith's classic The World's Religions, an eight week tour of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Primal Traditions. The class is free and open to the public, but you might want to add this book to your Christmas list if you want to participate. Please note: we will be using the non-illustrated version of Smith's book. The pictures are nice, but the text is much abbreviated in the illustrated edition.
Our speaker will be Peg Espinola, who will talk about her experiences creating her music. Have you ever wondered how Peg and other musicians come upon ideas for their compositions? Just how does the "creative process" happen for them? Peg will discuss this subject and illustrate by playing and singing some of her own songs. It should be a fascinating hour, so do join us on Tues., Feb. 28th!
