This event will be on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am from Sep. 27 - Oct. 25 in person in the Fireside Room.

Join Rev. Marcus, writer Courtney Martin, and friends for an exploration of the theme of "hospicing modernity," drawn from a book of the same name by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira.

So much is breaking down right now in our personal and political lives, but there is also potential for real breakthrough. Our consciousness, our communities, and our climate need us to grow up!

So how do we move away from comfort, convenience, consumption, certainty, control, coherence and towards something wiser and wider within us? How do we laugh at ourselves more easily and the predicament we find ourselves in, rather than clinging to righteousness and problem solving to soothe? What is the "adjacent possible" in our lives, in our church, in our country?

We will explore these questions in a variety of collective and creative ways together over the course of six weeks. No need to read the book, but you can learn more about the themes here.

We offer this series on a sliding scale, as a practice of shared responsibility and care within our community. Please contribute honestly, according to you ability. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
