                                             SUNDAY PROGRAMS

 

September 30 - UNITED NATIONS REVISITED    Our speaker this morning is Jim Stanbury.  He will remind us about this important world organization and lead a discussion of current happenings.  Jim teaches Political Science at Harbor College.

    

October 7 - IS THAT ALL THERE IS?  What is happening to me?  How did I get here?  What do I do now?  Rhonda Thomas is a practicing therapist currently working to help people at Beach Cities Health District.  She will facilitate a discussion and sharing of our thoughts and feelings.  Penny will moderate.

 

October 14 -  THE WISDOM OF NO ESCAPE   This is the title of a book by Pema Chodron.  It is a book about making friends with ourselves and our world.  It is about accepting the situation of “no exit”.  The book presents a Buddhist way of “being” in each moment.  Penny Hendricks will share some of the book and her thoughts about it.    

 

October 21 -  LIBRA PARTY AND POTLUCK  (no meeting at Mathews Cottage)   Come to see Beth Perkins’ newly redecorated  home and bring a favorite dish to share.  No matter what sign you were born under, come and celebrate.

         Time:  4:00 p.m.   Place:   Hawthorne

         RSVP by calling and let Beth know what you will bring.    

 

October 28 - THE LANDSCAPE OF HUMAN POTENTIAL  What if we took everything that all the various cultures have to tell us about the human potential - about spiritual growth, psychological growth, social growth, etc?  What if, further, we attempted to find all the essential pathways to these areas of human development?  Utilizing the full range of resources that modernity makes available, what practices might we follow to awaken our slumbering potentials and to facilitate human evolution?  Reverend Emeritus Ernie Pipes presents this subject and will lead us in a discussion.  Lenore Snodey will moderate this morning.
