How do we know what we know? How does our background and training influence our ability to recognize the truth? What unique factors influence women’s relationship to knowledge? How can women move from being silenced or relying on the opinions of others to a dynamic ability to reason critically while retaining a strong sense of one’s own intuitive knowing?
Kiss the Ground reveals that by regenerating the world’s soils, a farming process called “regenerative agriculture,” we have the potential to stabilize the climate! Soil is part of the solution to all our climate-related problems because of its ability to draw carbon from the atmosphere. By regenerating the soil, it’s possible to provide an abundance of food and restore ecosystems around the globe. Watching Kiss the Ground will inspire us all to get involved in ways that can rehabilitate the planet and heal ourselves in the process!

Please join us to discuss Heather McGhee's informative and insightful work, "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together." This book is a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here: divided and self-destructing, materially rich but spiritually starved and vastly unequal. McGhee marshals economic and sociological research to paint an irrefutable story of racism’s costs, but at the heart of the book are the humble stories of people yearning to be part of a better America, including white supremacy’s collateral victims: white people themselves. With startling empathy, this heartfelt message from a Black woman to a multiracial America leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.
This year, 2021, we will run the auction online, but we hope to also have an in-person live event at East Shore on Saturday November 13th. We will host a zoom party as well, to allow those who are unable to participate in-person to still join in the fun. Keep the evening of Saturday, November 13 free.
Beginning September 12, we will have in-person RE from 12:00-1:30 p.m. twice a month, which will allow families the opportunity to log into service before coming to RE. Children will be grouped by grade (K-3, 3-5, MS & HS). Classes will be held outside and masks required for everyone. Volunteers are required to be vaccinated. While children are in RE, parents are welcome to sit in the class or visit with other parents on the North Room patio. If you child is not feeling well, or if you have been notified by your child's school of an outbreak, please do not bring your child to RE that Sunday. Children MUST register before attending their first RE.

Grief GroUUp
Wednesdays, May 12 & June 9, 4:00-5:30 pm
Rev. Furrer and Milly Mullarky are convening a Grief GroUUp we suspect may interest some of our membership and help meet their current emotional needs. These are people who have recently lost a loved one and are in various stages of grief. You or someone you know might benefit from a supporting/listening/caring small group where we can offer ourselves to one another, including insights and strategies gleaned, and shoulders upon which to cry.
