Hebrew Prophets: How They Speak to Us Today

Leader: David Lloyd
When: Sept 2 – Oct. 27 at 7-8:30pm
Where: On Zoom
Prophets arise during troubled times when people have great anxiety about the
trends in their national politics, their economy, their culture, and their religion.
We’ll discuss what current trends are troubling us and read excerpts from these
prophets to discern whether God is speaking to us through these prophets’ words.
Participants can use their own bibles. This course satisfies the requirements for a
class in the Hebrew Scriptures.


The following two consecutive classes will explore practices of meditation
and deepen your experience of Divine Awareness:

Mindfulness Anytime, Anywhere
Leader: Donna Franklin
When: Sept 2, 9, 16 at 7-8:30pm Bring your own dinner at 6:15pm.
Where: In Person at Seekers Church
Practicing mindfulness changed how I view the world and how I am in the world.
This mindfulness class is open to everyone, from skeptics to those seeking to
deepen their practice. We’ll explore what mindfulness is and learn about the
science-backed benefits of mindfulness on the mind, body, and soul. Each week,
we’ll practice a range of mindfulness techniques and share with each other how
each method resonates with us. We’ll experience firsthand the benefits of
mindfulness and discover that you can practice mindfulness anytime, anywhere.


Contemplative Crossings: Investigating Buddhist and Christian methods of
meditation

Leader: Rebecca Wheaton
When: Sept. 23, 30 and Oct. 7 at 6:45-8pm Bring your own dinner at 6:15pm.
Where: In Person at Seekers Church
I’ve experienced profound moments of prayer and meditation in both Buddhist and
Christian gatherings. This course will be a chance to explore how Spirit can enter us
in any tradition where we seek connection with the Divine. We will spend time in

contemplation and practice each week, using examples of meditation practices from
these two remarkable traditions of study and faith.
6:15pm– bring your own dinner. Class starts at 7pm.
