TED

We’d like to invite seekers of friendship, food and thought-provoking books to join us for TED in September! Our kickoff book this fall is Living from the Center, Spirituality in an Age of Consumerism by Jay McDaniel.

McDaniel, a Christian and religion professor, draws from our Christian tradition, from Buddhist thought and process theology, as well as nature and poetry. He offers a worldview that counters our culture’s consumerist pressures. He describes a spirituality based on wisdom, compassion, freedom and sustainability.

We have copies in the office for $15, or used books can be ordered from Amazon.com for less.

Bring an edible contribution and join us at 6:00pm for a potluck supper (always surprising and delicious) followed by conversation (always enlightening and sometimes heated) about our reading and about our lives. September TED nights are Sept. 11 and Sept. 25.

Not sure TED is for you? We provide childcare and would welcome you to come “check us out” or just drop in when you’re so moved

2nd & 4th Tuesdays | 6:00pm. | Heritage Room | potluck dinner & discussion

Ever had the gut reaction that what you hear and read in the media as Christian sentiment and belief is not the Christianity you practice–but aren’t sure how to defend biblically what you practice? Tuesday Evening Dialogue will help you! If you are tongue-tied in the face of people and preachers who push self-righteousness, condemnation, personal salvation, and prosperity, you will find relief and blessing in the words of Rev. Robin  Meyers in Saving Jesus from the Church. Meyers has the credentials, the experience and the scholarship to back up his ardent pleas to find anew the Jesus who changed – and changes – people.

Even if you haven’t come before, jump in now. TED meets Nov. 8 when we discuss chapters 6 & 7.  Childcare is available until 8:00 pm.
