Dance has a long history as a spiritual expression. Globally, it knows no boundaries and belongs to all cultures. From biblical times, dance in conjunction with music or percussive beats has been part of worship. Just as we include music in our worship services, we are now starting to include movement. Liturgical dance is movement set to hymns or songs which are appropriate for worship services, or movement which accompanies readings. It is primarily simple, coordinated gestures and, while helpful, no dance experience is required. All shapes, sizes, genders, and ages are welcome. Location: Chapel Facilitators: Carla Hillyard and Karen Klein |
Fourth Tuesday Will start again in September, 2008 |
Spirituality Reading and Study Group This reading and study group is focused on a variety of the literature of spirituality. We will begin with a discussion of pages 3 to 38 of John Buehrens' "Understanding the Bible: An Introduction for Skeptics, Seekers, and Religious Liberals" as well as some selections from the Gospel of Thomas and the Tao Te Ching. Both the Gospel of Thomas and the Tao Te Ching are aphoristic in nature and will not take long to read. We expect to continue initially with Buehrens' book but future readings will be selected by those participating. Location: Harrington Room Facilitators: Morgan Wilson and Meredith Ruland |
| Third Thursday 7:30pm |
Bring your knitting, needlepoint, crochet, scrapbooking, or other crafts for a monthly gathering of creativity and conversation. Location: Harrington Room Contacts: Kristin Wilson and Shirley Traite |
