Join members of the Lay Pastoral Ministry Team and Rev. María Cristina as we explore inspirational stories and insights for aging with joy and purpose. Guided by the books From Age-ing to Sage-ing by Reb Zalman, and The Gift of Aging by Houle & Eckstrom, together we will explore how shifting our perspective on aging can reveal a spectrum of rich experiences and invaluable insights. We’ll reflect on how we can harness the power of a positive mindset to cultivate resilience, mental well-being, and a deeper sense of life satisfaction and purpose. Join us as we share practical strategies to enrich our journey, such as engaging in lifelong learning, building intergenerational connections, practicing gratitude, and seeking narratives that celebrate the beauty and depth of age. Join us in the Sanctuary after worship. Light Refreshments Provided.

Women’s Perspective invites all who identify as women to the annual Margaret Fuller Tea. Our speaker for the annual Women’s Perspective Margaret Fuller tea will be our own Carol Sinape who retired from a long career as a nurse practitioner. Did you ever wonder about the different titles of assorted medical practitioners that have developed in modern medicine in America? What is the difference between physician’s assistants and nurse practitioners? How are their training and responsibilities different from other nurses and each other? Women’s roles in practicing medicine have expanded which definitely improved the quality of care for all patients. Carol was in the forefront of changing practices of nursing in America, and practiced in some especially challenging and colorful places.

In February, Meaningful Movies Bellevue will screen Evergreen, from Bullfrog Films. In this film, we meet Marianne Edain and Steve Erickson, who have worked continually to retain the rural character and ecological diversity of Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, just north of Seattle. Through their organization Whidbey Environmental Action Network (WEAN), Edain and Erickson have monitored county applications for development and logging; challenged projects that violate state environmental law and led the way in science-based environmental public policymaking. In partnership with citizens and communities up and down Whidbey Island, they have helped keep trees standing and protected sensitive island ecosystems. Join us for this inspiring film and learn what is happening right here in Puget Sound to help protect our natural world. Plan to join via Zoom to find out what you can do to help support this work!

Please join us to discuss Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Her unusual approach to cooking proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy, because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook, she’s daring them to change the status quo.
