Spiritual Café on Aging
“Here a pivot, there a wheel, now a pinion, next a spring will give way.
I steer my bark with hope in the head, leaving fear astern.” –Thomas Jefferson
As we, or those we love, face the close of life and the diminishment of both body and capacity, how can we approach aging with revised goals and expectations of ourselves and others? How do we accept ourselves, our aging parents, or our aging friends with loving patience? How do we respect the “inherent worth and dignity” of those struggling with aging? How much does the fear of our own death or the loss of a loved one, affect our acceptance of the aging process?
We will hold this service at the Fellowship for in-person attendance. It will also be streamed online for remote participation.

From Gang Youth to Community-Builder
This Sunday we will have the pleasure of listening to the life story and impressive lessons that have been learned, and in turn taught by local chef, Mark Segovia. His youth in the South Valley, experiences with gangs and drugs at a young age, and his life changing choices that altered his life’s path. He has become a beacon in the community and a mentor to many. Building community is a driving force for Chef Mark. Over the years, he has provided a variety of cooking classes and events for many occasions and takes pride in using locally grown and seasonal ingredients. Mark is also involved in helping youth redirect their lives and keeping them out of the justice system as a coordinator for a restorative justice diversion program started by the district attorney’s office.
We will hold this service at the Fellowship for in-person attendance. It will also be streamed online for remote participation.

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.
