September 26 - "Mapping our Spiritual Growth - Examining our Past", Speaker, Patty Burrell

Each attendee is invited to plan in advance for a discussion about how each of us has grown at our spiritual center during our lifetime. We ask that you "draw" a map on any sheet of paper, putting in "ah-haa" moments, rivers, streams, mountains, valleys. deserts, reflecting pools - whatever you feel like drawing. Do this in advance of the meeting on September 26 and decide what you would like to share with the group. It is not necessary to share all or even a portion of your map - it is simply a learning tool for you to experience.

Den will be inviting our members to share what they might want to happen for late life and when passing on

MEMBERSHIP

Ours is a group which works by concensus, not from the top down, but between us all. We work out what we do. That means that each of us is responsible for the business we do, the outreach we do, and our interactions with each other. So, if you see something that needs to be done, do it. We are a small group that is well known in the community - we celebrated our 50th Anniversary in 2008. It is not just our Seven Principles that encourage and maintain this tradition. It is the people who use these principles, and our organization that enables us. We have a lot to be proud of.

If you need more information about membership, please contact Linda at 221-7222

You do not have to be a member to attend our meetings, but you must be an active member in order to vote. Active membership is described in our By Laws. For a copy of the By Laws, call Linda at 221-7222
