PROGRAMS
November 3 -
DON’T LET NEGATIVITY DRIVE YOUR LIFE-CAR---PLACE IT IN THE BACK SEAT
Neurological science informs us that negative thoughts and emotions are mostly
ingrained in our nervous systems by age three or four. Research also
proves that we can dump sour thoughts and feelings into life’s car’s back
seat with a friendly community, service to others, and a useful toolkit of
meditations. Our speaker today is Bill Blake.
Bill returns with a new presentation. John Simpson will moderate.
November 10 -
COMMUNITIES FOR A BETTER ENVIRONMENT Speaker Alicia
Rivera will explain what the current issues are. CBE is advocating for
various environmental justice bills, including Senate Bill 605. She will
explain some of the many problems affecting lives in our community. Bob
Johnson will be Moderator.
November 17 –
WHAT I KNOW TO BE TRUE Come and share something that you
know to be true --an idea, an experience, a personal lesson, something that you
read or that you wrote---. Perhaps there is something that you hold dear
to your heart that has special meaning and value for you. Penny will lead
the program of sharing.
November 24 –
EXILE, NOSTALGIA, AND HOMECOMING The Reverend
Emeritus Ernie Pipes will present this topic and lead our discussion.
Come to hear what this is about.
December 1 – CUBA: MORTAL ENEMY OR FAMILY QUARREL? Why is Cuba the only country in the world where you can be prosecuted for visiting without a special visa from the state department? Why does the U.S. maintain a near state of war with a country we have never been formally at war with or that US forces have never engaged except for a skirmish in Grenada? What are the current prospects for change in the near future? Is Fidel immortal? Our speaker today is Joseph Marcin. We met Joe and his wife Mary in 2012. What do you think about Cuba?
