Pluralism – We need each other to perceive the whole

Today we began exploring the May theme of pluralism with the topic, “Many Views: We Need Each Other to Perceive The Whole!” One of our projects was to “finish the doodle.” We discovered that we all saw different things!              

Welcoming Autumn Equinox

Today we welcomed the coming autumn equinox with a nature hike. Spring and Summer growth around the fellowship was quite evident. The trail up the hill was inviting and we found many leaves that had fallen and did some lovely leaf rubbings later. The big tree (outside the sanctuary window) didn’t look ready to drop … Continue reading Welcoming Autumn Equinox

Crossing Boundaries

Dick Beeman led a wonderful class filled with discussion about how paleolithic people’s simple love of artistic expression enabled the invention of written language—how artistic depictions of people, animals and things – “graffiti” –  led directly to symbolic depiction, not just of animals and things, but also of intangibles such as ideas and emotions, i.e., … Continue reading Crossing Boundaries

Nice weather!

Even though the congregation has taken a break from in-person worship, we are holding an in-person OWL class for 7th-9th grade students each Sunday.

Trunk or Treat

Many thanks to Sylvia Beeman for sharing materials to make birdfeeders on Halloween. After that, we went out for Trunk or Treat and it was lovely fun! Thanks to everyone for participating in the trunk displays, carnival games, and treat distribution!​

Build It!

Each Saturday from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. we gather at the K-State Intramural Fields (corner of Denison and Kimball). The fields provide a lovely opportunity for kids to run off energy, fly kites, or explore for bugs while maintaining good distance. Extremely good distance! Bring your own lawn chair and a cool beverage, and … Continue reading Build It!

Book Lending Library

I am blessed to live in a house with many books. If you’re tired of digital media and wish the library would reopen so you and your kids could get some books, well, I’ve got some to share. The list isn’t particularly organized and it’s far from complete. But if you’re interested, I’ll keep working … Continue reading Book Lending Library
