The Gift of Change
As we near the end of summer, let us begin to think about change. Change may conjure feelings of sadness or even fear, but it can also promote anticipation and even excitement. Today we will explore how we feel about and approach change. –Georgia Platts, service lay leader

The Importance of Cooperation
When hearing the word evolution, many think of the phrase “survival of the fittest” – an idea based on competition for resources. While competition appears to drive much of evolution, one could argue that the most significant and life-changing events in our planet’s history resulted from cooperation, not competition. Notably, most stable ecosystems appear to have minimal competition, likely because competition harms both species while cooperation benefits both species. This concept (scientifically called symbiosis) has clear implications for the ideal behavior in human populations. Please join me to explore how we humans might learn from other species, yet again. –Kathy Duncan, service lay leader

Stronger Together
To make our world better, each of us must celebrate and share our unique gifts to nurture our planet. As curious, spiritually independent people, our Fellowship strives to provide an open and supportive environment to explore the creativity, strength, and wisdom within the diverse experiences and aspirations of each of us. We find joy and meaning in such a community. And by working together, we strengthen our connections.
