SPIRITUAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES
Please join us at 2PM on October 24th at Bessie Branham Park for a masked/socially distanced and safe gathering! Our time together will include some easy time just enjoying being together, a time for our Littles-Elementary kids to spend time together playing games that are 100% socially distanced- safety approved and a short story time. Kids are invited to wear their Halloween Costumes if they’d like to. It’s a week early, but we thought they might enjoy wearing them during a very different Halloween 2020 when they might not be able to trick-or-treat.
Details: Please bring a blanket/chairs/etc to set up your family space and bring any snacks/drinks you’d like to enjoy during our time together. Everyone present must wear a mask. Parents of our youngest are encouraged to remain with your little during game time to ensure they can maintain an appropriate distance from their friends. More details to come as we solidify our plans. While we don’t have a required registration, it would be really helpful to have an idea of who is planning to join us. When you get a moment, please let Kathy know you will be attending by replying YES- WE WILL BE THERE! to kathyc.kirkwooducc@gmail.com. We sure have missed you and your children and look forward to spending some time together!!! 
On Tuesday October 27th, we'll hear from Megan Gordon as she helps us make sense of our ballots, especially any referendums, amendments and resolutions. Meeting link to come.

“As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.” – The Dalai Lama
Friends, this month we will gather for a time of sharing in community on Monday, October 26, at 7-8:30pm. The contemplative voice we will lift up this month is the voice of The Dalai Lama. As the political and spiritual leader of the Chinese province of Tibet, the Dalai Lama’s tireless and decades-long work as a builder of bridges, seeker of peace, and campaigner for Tibetan independence has elevated him into one of the world’s great moral leaders. Our guest facilitator will be Bobbi Patterson, retired professor of pedagogy and scholar of faith who advocates using the fundamentals of contemplative practices in order to build resilience. We will conclude our time together with a few minutes of silent meditation. We hope you can join us as we gather for a time of sharing in community with our guest facilitator. CLICK HERE TO JOIN 
This month our monthly KUCC Book Chat will lift up Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by American journalist Isabel Wilkerson. We will gather together on Zoom at 7pm on Friday, October 30 to discuss Wilkerson’s features of caste systems in various societies as well as aspects and consequences of caste. (Note, this book is “long-ish” compared to many others we have read for our monthly Book Chat. We highly recommend that you start reading it soon and very soon.) Hope you can join us for another lively discussion this month! CLICK HERE TO JOIN
