Gathering for Film

This Sunday, March 9th, The Gathering will be lead by Neil Snipes. Neil will be showing "Science & Spirituality" from "The Beyond Theology" series. A discussion, lead by Neil, will follow.

Science and spirituality:  While science and technology have been based primarily upon a materialistic approach to the world, most spiritual traditions have employed a more intuitive approach. As scientific exploration continues to unveil new views of the universe, what's happening to our "sense of the cosmos"?

Our offering will be for the "Buddhist Peace Fellowship". 

Gathering for Worship

This week Rev. Tracy Baker Wright will lead the service Sunday.  The offering will go to San Angelo Friends of the Environment (SAFE).  Join us at 5:30 pm on March 2nd at 618 Locust Street.

Becky Benes at The Gathering

Becky Benes will be this week's speaker. Her topic will be: How to Live and Work from a Place of Spirit

Becky is married and has two daughters. She has Master degree in Pastoral Studies with a focus in Spiritual Direction. She is an author, columnist, and speaker. Currently, she helps Spirit-led small business owners and entrepreneurs market and monetizes their gifts and talents so that they may attract ideal clients, show up authentically, work less, and make more, allowing more time for family, and friends.

Gathering for Worship

This Sunday Dr. Mark Bethune will lead us in worship. His sermon is titled "Eating Crunchy Sandwiches". Scripture readings are from Luke 24:13-35 and Acts 3:1-19. For worship this Sunday you are invited to bring an item to place on the worship table, one that is or has been meaningful to you in your faith journey. Our designated offering will go to "HOSA's Building Bridges Program."

Following worship we will have our pot luck dinner.

Gathering for Neighbors

This Sunday February 9th, Neil Snipes will be presenting a segment from the documentary series "Beyond Theology". The segment to be presented is "Church and State" to be followed by a discussion.

"Church and State"

The separation of church and state is one of the most fundamental principles of our democracy. While some contend that we need to return to our roots as a "Christian nation," others dispute the notion that the founding fathers intended this to be a nation dedicated to any particular religious tradition.

~ Our offering will be for "Neighbors in Need" one of the five UCC designated offerings. ~
