This year, our Lenten Theme is
Challenging Conversations with Compassion.
With an election on the horizon, and conflicts all around the world, there are plenty of challenging conversations to get pulled into.
But what about hard conversations at work, or at home?
Join us this year to practice strategies for having these challenging conversations from a place of compassion for yourself, and also for the ones you disagree with.
Our second session is this week ~
Wednesday, March 13th
from 7-8pm.
You can join us from the Zoom Sanctuary, or gather in person at the Nambu Chapel.
For folks gathering in person, arrive by 6:30pm and you’ll get a simple soup supper, too!

Book Club meets
Saturday, March 16th
at 10am
Dick Simpson will facilitate the discussion of this
“wondrous and shattering novel
[that] follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize.” (Goodreads)
The novel was the 2023 “One Book One Chicago” selection – see the author’s keynote speech from that event here.
Since the last day of March is Easter Sunday, there will be no meeting of the Last Supper* Club this month!
However, Elaine Klemen is hosting in April! Save the date now.
The long & winding road of our “Beemocracy” project is coming to an end! We are down to TWO final candidates for a longer term “home,” and have sites visits planned to explore them more. For now, we just want you to save these dates – more information will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead!
Music 4 the Soul!
May the light of love embrace you as you walk through Lent.
This week’s Music 4 the Soul is written and performed David Roth.
His simple rendition reminds us of the basic tenants of
love, support & community.
