Sunday, July 6, 2025, 11 a.m. — Service: Conscious Awakening, Rev. Doug Inhofe
Looking back into your life can keep alive a memory of a long-ago shortcoming or tragedy — often a counter-productive effort. Consider instead the reflection that occurs when you choose to pursue a productive, forward-looking practice, asking yourself, “What is today for? Am I ready for the change it will bring? How can I help? Am I being true to my values?” Call this practice conscious awakening — it might enlighten a life you had been overlooking.
Sunday, July 8, 2025, 11 a.m. — Sharing Circle: Living Through Seachange
Life is a continual arc of change. Some changes visit us abruptly; some are a slower seachange, coalescing one particle at a time, until we find ourselves dissolved in a new reality. No matter how change visits us, we learn something each and every time we land somewhere new. There is wisdom and comfort to be found by sharing what we’ve learned by managing, surviving, and even celebrating change. Come and share your story so we can all learn new ways of moving through change.
“It is not the strongest of the species who survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” — Charles Darwin
Sunday, July 20, 2025, 11 a.m. — Service: This I Believe, Be Scott
So much has changed since our “This I Believe” program just a year ago: An election was conducted, an inauguration held, and the good this country has stood for is being dismantled in favor of lawlessness, greed, and force. But despite the political, there are still so many values we stand for and work to uphold: generosity, caring, openness, truth, authenticity, critical thinking, and so on. If you feel like sharing yours, we have a podium for you. On July 20, let your fellow members and visitors learn about what you, personally, believe.
About “This I Believe”
During its run on the Edward R. Murrow news program on CBS, and later on NPR, “This I Believe” engaged listeners in a discussion of the core beliefs that guided their daily lives. In both the CBS and NPR programs, people in all walks of life — teachers, farmers, prison inmates, boxers, Nobel laureates and more — were engaged to share their beliefs.
