The Power of Thought Experiments
The Power of Thought Experiments
Have you ever wondered what it means to be immortal? Or how you would act in a life-or-death situation? Or what would happen if you could travel back in time? In The Power of Thought Experiments, award-winning philosopher Daniel Breyer of Illinois State University takes you around the world and across intellectual traditions to explore the power of thought experiments. And, critically, you won’t simply learn about influential thought experiments throughout history, you’ll work through them in your own thinking, question them, challenge them, and evaluate what power they have to expand our minds and inform our lives. Led by Alan Carter.

A Month of Reflection & New Beginnings
A Month of Reflection & New Beginnings
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.

Meaningful Movies: The If Project
Join Meaningful Movies Bellevue’s first screening of 2024! We will be showing The If Project, a feature-length documentary that explores the reasons why women are the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated population, increasing at nearly double the rate of men since 1985. The film follows a group of inmates incarcerated at the Washington Corrections Center for Women. These women are part of a writing workshop cofounded by Seattle Police Detective Kim Bogucki and former inmate Renata Abramson. Now a thriving non-profit organization, The If Project serves justice-involved individuals and their families. Plan to join via Zoom to find out what the “If” question is all about!

Fourth Wednesday Book Club: Prodigal Summer
Fourth Wednesday Book Club: Prodigal Summer
Please join us to discuss The Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. Over the course of one humid summer, as the urge to procreate overtakes the lush countryside, this novel's intriguing protagonists—a reclusive wildlife biologist, a young farmer's wife marooned far from home, and a pair of elderly, feuding neighbors—face disparate predicaments but find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with whom they necessarily share a place.
