Gone, Gonna Rise Again

Many spiritual paths contain stories of gods who die and are born again, especially in earlier religions whose main form of worship centered on the cycles and seasons of the Earth.  We will look at some of these traditions, and explore what meaning this orientation to spirituality might have for our own lives.

Childcare is provide every Sunday by members of the Religious and Character Education (RCE) team. We are currently in the process of seeking to hire a child care provider, so that RCE team members will not need to volunteer as often and can focus on religious and character education for school age children.

Your event will be enhanced by the sights and sounds of nature, such as dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, leaves rustling in a gentle breeze, and birds chirping. A lively creek and simple footpaths, run through the forest.
