Tuesday, June 3, 6:30 PM: Our circles provide a safe and sacred space each month to honor our connection to the Earth, to the cycles of the Moon, to our deepest selves and to each other. Call Deborah Roth at 212-665-9660 or email dsrothny@aol.com for the theme and more information.
Saturday, May 31 - 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at Fourth U. There are proven principles of prosperity that if followed will grant each of us the abundance we want in our lives. This full day workshop outlines what those principles are and gives practical steps on how to get from the scarce world we live in to the abundant universe awaiting us. Previous participants have said, “The workshop was excellent…” “We got so much out of it … and we’ve certainly made strides in our lives that have shown it.” Don’t miss it! Led by Liz Wolfe. To enroll, or for more information, contact her at lwolfe@wintecgroup.com or 646-334-9427.
The annual 4th U Retreat is upon us again! As always, we go up the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, and return on Sunday. Spend the weekend reacquainting yourself with other members of the 4th U community in the tranquility of the woods in Connecticut. Hike through the woods, swim in the lake, or just sit and read. Forms will be available for the next three Sundays. Payment must be made in full at the time you submit your form. We would like to cut costs by renting a van for the whole weekend instead of a bus for just the return trip. We hope many of you will drive up and take as many with you as you can. The cost of the trip will be determined by Sunday, April 27. Bring your checkbooks to church (payment by credit card will also be possible). This is one of the highlights of the 4th U year, so we hope you can make it! For additional information, call or email Matt Gilbert (646-209-0033, matt_gilbert@world.oberlin.edu).
May 18: Rev. Rosemary Bray McNatt returns from her sabbatical!
Announcing a New Program - Interactive Dialogues
Friday, May 16, 2008: 7:00 - 9:30 P.M. You are invited to the first in a series of interactive dialogues. The initial session, on May 16, will focus on the challenge of establishing and maintaining satisfying and loving relationships. This program was inspired by the ideas of Martin Buber, Erich Fromm, Karen Horney, Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, Will Schutz, and other great minds in their fields. It explores ideas, insights, and enhances positive relationships. The programs will be intellectually engaging and include social games and practical opportunities to explore personally and socially meaningful issues. The moderator, Reverend Joseph Ben-David, recently returned from the Czech Republic, where he led interactive dialogues for gatherings sponsored by the distinguished Martin Buber Fund. They were received with great enthusiasm. There is no fee. Voluntary contributions are welcome.
Sponsored by the Church of Humanism.
