Apocalyptic Hope
Rev. Julie Brock
Sunday, August 16th 10:30am
What happens when we run out of hope? Where does it come from? Is there an endless supply and can we do anything to foster hope? Recent decades have become increasingly preoccupied with apologetic fiction in our collective imagination. What happens when this all falls apart? Sometimes it feels like we are living in apocalyptic times now. Who will bring us hope, when hope is hard to find? See you Sunday!

Fred Hampton, Freedom Fighter
Rev. Julie Brock
Sunday, August 30th 10:30am
Fred Hampton accomplished much in the short 21 years he was on earth. Freedom fighter, revolutionary, community activist, and dear friend, Fred Hampton was shot by Chicago police at point blank range after being identified as a threat by the FBI. Why do we find revolutionary voices threatening? How can we better respond to voices calling out from communities who need revolutionary change? Let's think on it. See you Sunday!

What happens when relationships break?
Rev. Julie Brock
Sunday, September 6th 10:30am
Broken relationships are one the most difficult things humans have to deal with. It feels like we should have some amount of control over weather or not people we love are in or out of our lives. Sometimes something disruptive happens and you can't see eye to eye. Sometimes mending is possible. What are the best conditions under which people in strife can come together and heal. Let's discuss. See you Sunday!
