After-Service Discussion – October 4th

Join Sue Forbes and others for this Discussion following the Sunday Service on September 20th.

Join Sue Forbes and others for a deeper dive into the discussion of what ‘mattering’ looks like for us as individuals. This was the Reflection from September 20th:

“A New Take on Our Most Basic Desire: To Matter”. We humans are the only species on earth that asks: Am I living a life that matters? Indeed that ‘mattering instinct’ may be the most peculiar and human thing about us. Now, a new take on mattering shows how that deep longing can both connect and divide us. And the world’s longest study of adult development reveals what actually works to create the meaning and purpose we search for.

You’re invited to three after-service Discussions on this topic from 12:15-1:15 pm on these 3 Sundays: September 20, October 4 and October 18. Join for one, two, or all three.
