Give Away the Plate for December 2018

Our “Give Away the Plate” recipient for December 2018 is Queensborough Progressive Citizens (QPC).

QPC is an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for citizens of the Queensborough neighborhood of Shreveport.

For December 2018, we are returning to the practice of devoting all the non-pledge income for one Sunday a month to a selected non-profit.

As we make this transition, please know that for any Sunday you want to donate to QPC, just put the money in an envelope and indicate that.

If you are writing one check, indicate in the memo line the amounts to go to pledge and QPC respectively.

Adult Religious Education — 2 December 2018

Please join us on Sunday (2 December 2018) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class.

We will hear more from Father Richard Rohr in an audio presentation of his “On Being” interview with Krista Tippett (“Living in Deep Time”).

Join us for this continued exploration of the contemplative path in Christianity.

At this time of year when we consider our roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, join us to hear a different take on God and Christianity as something relational, inclusive, and all-encompassing, as opposed to what Father Rohr calls the “supernatural Santa Claus handing out cosmic lottery tickets to those who attend the right church or say the right prayer.”

18 November 2018 All-Ages Thanksgiving Worship and Feast

Please join us on Sunday (18 November 2018) at 11:00 AM for our annual all-ages Thanksgiving service, communion ritual, and feast — “Finding Gratitude” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

As we do each year, we will begin with a shorter service in the sanctuary and then process to the social hall for an inclusive bread and water communion (focused on the community we share and the need to feed the hungry people of the world).

After the ritual, we have a feast that really is our best potluck of the year.

If you don’t cook, no worries.

There are plenty of people who do cook and there are plenty of things we need that you can pick up from the store.

And even if you can’t bring anything, come anyway.  There are plenty of ways you can help with this feast.

Sign up here to let us know what you can bring.

There will be no religious education classes for children and youth today — these classes will resume next Sunday (25 November 2018).

Our “Give Away the Plate” recipient for November 2019 is The Philadelphia Center.
