Online and In-Person Adult Religious Education — 3 March 2024

Please join us on Sunday (3 March 2024) for our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM.

Our adult religious education class is now a dual-platform class — meeting in person in the church social hall and also on Zoom.

On 11 February 2024, the adult class watched “Why Awe is Such an Important Emotion” — a video featuring Dacher Keltner (author of Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life).

The adult class has decided to read his book together and all are welcome to join the class.

This week we will be discussing Chapter 3 (“Evolution of the Soul”) and Chapter 4 (“Moral Beauty”).

We will also have a special guest with us at the end of class.

Rebekah Lewis, Director of Chimpanzee Behavior at Chimp Haven (who also happens to be Barbara Deger’s daughter), will join us to watch Jane Goodall’s short video featuring a chimpanzee’s “waterfall display” and talk to us about signs of awe and wonder in our closest mammalian relatives.

We still have a few books available at church and we can always order more as needed.  The cost is a donation of $15.00 but please don’t let money be an obstacle to having the book if you want to be part of the group.
