Why Worship?
(The Worship Committee)
We use the word worship in our services all the time, but what does it really mean? Members of the Worship Committee will share their personal interpretations of the word, the act and the meaning of worship.

July 13:
Readers’ Theatre: Jesus in Hell
(with apologies to George Bernard Shaw) (Al Murdach & stellar Starr King cast)
Today members of the congregation will take part in a bit of acting for your worship pleasure. Using a riff on GBS’s play-within-a-play, “Don Juan in Hell,” our play explores what happens when Jesus returns to Hell again to rescue some infamous characters. Unfortunately, he’s in for a surprise! Come and see what happens and enjoy something a little different, designed to delight and inspire. Chalice Deadline.

July 20:
Does It Improve the Silence?
(Rev. Katie Kandarian)
Our youth group has considered this quote by Hindu guru Sai Baba, “Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?” Somewhat similar is the inspiration for the purple bracelets of A Complaint Free World. What would it be like to utter more positive speech? Shall we try? Bookstore Open.

July 27:
Making Stone Soup: A Cook’s Guide
(Doug Vakoch)
In the parable of Stone Soup, a community comes together to create a meal that nourishes its members in body and in soul. Making the soup required faith, courage and vision. Today we will explore some ways that we, as individuals and as a community, can and already do make our own Stone Soup.
