Calendar

Chuck Clark is leading a study on Matthew Fox’s book, “Creativity: Where the Divine and Human Meet”. The class, beginning on Feb 4, will run for approximately six Sundays from 8:30 to 9:30 am. Books are available from Chuck Clark for $5. Childcare is available. “Fox believes the human creativity is what most differentiates us from other species – yet we rarely focus on it in our educational or religious institutions. Creativity is the key to our genius and beauty as a species, also to our capacity for evil. Because creativity is the key to both our genius and beauty as a species but also to our capacity for evil, we need to teach creativity and to teach ways of steering this God-like power in directions that promote love of life (biophilia) and not love of death (necrophilia). Many people undergo their most profound mystical experiences during acts of creativity but this is often left unacknowledged. What are the true sources of our creativity? What in life is not enhanced by creativity? How do we go about teaching and eliciting and nurturing creativity in ourselves and our children? How does the Holy Spirit work through us in our creative acts and processes? What is the relationship of wildness and creativity?” These are some of the topics treated in this book.

First United Church of Arvada is open for in-person Worship in addition to offering our services over Zoom. Request Zoom link here.

About 20 minutes into the service, kids K-3rd grade are usually invited to Worship & Wonder and 4th-6th to Engage & Explore (3 out of 4 Sundays a month). This is a Sunday the 4th-6th grader stay in worship with family. Know that children are always welcome in the sanctuary with you or, if you prefer, you can bring your child(ren) to the foyer and still participate in the service, but with some extra wiggle room.

The nursery is open.

For the next book club book, we’re reading The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods. There is no library kit for this one, so you’ll need to find the book on your own. We’ll meet on Friday March 22 at 1pm at a church member’s home to discuss it! If you have questions about book club, contact the church office.

We will have an outdoor workday on Saturday, March 23 from 9 am to noon. We will be tidying up the front of the church as well other possible projects that Building and Property may have for us to help with. If you are able to come and help out, it would be appreciated! Bring your work gloves! Contact the Church Office with any questions.
