| Good News You Can Use! Join the Human Scene Sunday School class every week at 9:00 a.m. Church Parlor |
Men's Forum
The goal of the Men's Forum is to provide a biblically based group support for
any men. The Men's Forum meets in the church parlor from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30
a.m. on Tuesday mornings. The group provides a safe forum for sharing
thoughts, feelings, concerns and joys, all on a volunteer basis. The men
individually sign up to volunteer to lead the group study and discussion of a
bible passage selected several months ahead. The biblical lessons often
stimulate personal sharing of events in men's lives. There are no officers, no
hierarchy, no dues, and no attendance is recorded. Volunteers provide free
coffee. The group is ecumenical and welcomes any visitors. There is no
obligation to attend, and participation in discussion is optional. For more
information, contact Dennis Sadilek.

November 2 Day of the Dead
In modern Latin America this celebration has become an important cultural
tradition. Laura Johnson, a member of Canto de Esparanza and an educator
at a Hispanic cultural museum, will lead this exploration of the roots and the
significance of this annual festival.
November 9 Veterans' Day Panel
A panel of our own RPC veterans will gather to tell us some of their stories,
reflect on their own experiences, and tell us how those experiences inform their
current views regarding armed conflict. We will also explore the place of
religion and its relationship to those experiences.
November 16 Global Weapons Trade
Trace the major movements of weapons from the manufacturers into the hands
of various armies, mercenaries, militias, and terrorists. RPC youth member
Peter Jansen explores this global traffic and asks what the Church should be
doing about it.
November 23 Equity in Public Education
RB School Board member Jim Marciniak will lead a discussion on equity in
public education from a Christian perspective. What do public schools have to
do with Christianity? How might God be calling us to act? Have we done our
job as Christians by providing equal access and resources for all, or should we
be satisfied with nothing less than equal results too?
November 30 First Sunday of Advent
Mary Koon will moderate a discussion about traditions of the season and ways
to remember the meaning of it all amid the chaos of today's world.
