St. A’s EVENTS THIS WEEK

ENCOUNTERS –Sunday morning study group meet in the lounge at 08:30 am.  ‘Encounters’ - It’s worth getting up early for!
So, what goes on?  Encounters is an Adult Interest Group that meets in St. A’s lower lounge on a regular basis, from 8:30 to 9:30 on Sunday mornings, from September through to early June each year.  Although participants change from time to time, the group has been active for several decades.  During this time, we discuss matters of our faith, each topic being chosen by mutual consent.  Often a book or a DVD program is used to spark our interest and lead to meaningful discussions. This Fall we are using a DVD series as our guide.
ProFuture Faith led by the Reverend Michael Dowd.
 Do you think the following might interest you? A brief orientation by Rev. Dowd:
‘We are living in challenging and confusing times and religion and science each has a vital role to play in assisting humanity in coming home to reality.  Given our impact on Earth’s climate, soils, seas and forests, as well as other species, we could already be in the early stages of what could be called, ‘The Great Reckoning’.  The good news is that this could also be ‘The Great Homecoming’, that is, humanity, the ‘prodigal species’, after squandering out inheritance, coming home to reality.  The intention is to lift up the evolutionary purpose of religion and the ecological necessity of science to assist us all in reclaiming our moral and prophetic voice on behalf of future generations.’
In other words, considering the problems in our world today, how can we leave a meaningful faith for our descendants? (ProFuture Faith) If this sounds interesting (and it is), why not join us on Sunday mornings.
