We eat, but we are not a dinner group; we read books, but we are not a book group; we study, but we are not a class; we discuss, but we are not a discussion group; we pray, but we are not a prayer group. We are a group of spiritual seekers who share our lives with each other and are committed to be present as much as we are able. We seek to deepen our relationship with God, and our experience of the sacred. We seek to expand our vision of how we might contribute to peace and love in the world.
The Seekers meet on Wednesdays. On August 7th we will be starting a new book called The Raft is Not the Shore. It is an account of conversations about Buddhist-Christian awareness between Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist Monk, and Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit priest.
We meet for brown-bag supper in the assembly room at 6:00, then go to the sanctuary room for the rest of our activities at 6:30, concluding about 8:00.
We rotate leadership by the week or section of the book. Sometimes we just discuss topics. We occasionally go on retreats. Everyone is invited. If you are interested and/or have questions, call Sylvia. Her number is in the church directory, or you can leave a message for her at the church office.
