But it doesn't take long for Eleanor to realize she's there by mistake. The Good Place is a comedy on NBC about the ups, downs and dilemmas of the afterlife. Come be a part of a fun one-week conversation on the implications of the afterlife in Room 2 at 9:45 am on February 16.
About Room 2:
How do you move through the world as a Christian and as a spiritual person? Does your faith need a new start, a reconstruction? Maybe your doubt needs a place to be heard? Room 2 is a group of people with questions about God, the Bible and our own personal spirituality. Through conversations on books, topics, faith and theology, we are deconstructing an unusable faith in order that we may reconstruct a fresh faith. Each class includes times of presentation, conversation and community.

New Circle Of Trust Begins
Circle of Trust is based on the idea that, if people get together in an environment marked by trust, honesty and caring, positive spiritual growth will result. The purpose of this group is to experience each other in an authentic, nurturing environment. Consider this, from Parker Palmer: “So what do we do in a circle of trust? We speak our own truth; we listen receptively to the truth of others; we ask each other honest, open questions instead of giving counsel; and we offer each other the healing and empowering gifts of silence and laughter.” If you are interested in a stronger sense of purpose and integrity, an expanded capacity to be present for others, or more courage to live authentically, Circle of Trust might be just what you’re looking for.
Circle of Trust, led by Bob Nelson, will meet on Thursday nights at 7:00 pm for seven weeks, beginning March 23.
