Sage Café’s Big Questions

On Friday, April 18 members and friends of UUCUC will meet again for a thoughtful discussion about how we as individuals and a community address some of life’s more challenging questions.

Each conversation begins with a theme – lately taken from the monthly worship and Soul Matters topics – and engages the participants in an easy flow of opinions, facts, what-ifs, and why-nots.

This month the theme is joy and the Sage Café questions are “How does fear interfere with joy and curiosity?” and “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”

The facilitators provide a few thought-starters, usually photos or quotes. The main quote for this month comes from a David Brooks’ column in the New York Times. He wrote about curiosity, commitment, and moments of enchantment when people realize that “some notion or activity has grabbed them, set its hooks inside them, aroused some possibility, fired the imagination.”

Please join us in Fellowship Hall at 6:30 on the third Friday of every month for a conversation with thoughtful friends. We are not necessarily like-minded and that makes it all the more interesting. We don’t debate or challenge or proselytize. There are no right or wrong answers or ideas. We simply share our experience, curiosity, compassion, and respect.
