WOMEN'S CIRCLE
Meeting in the Chapel (Administration Building)
Wednesday Evenings at 7:00 pm.
Women's Circle - A women's circle is a safe and sacred space for women to come together, use their voices, be heard and be seen. Women throughout history have gathered in circles to empower each other and share wisdom.
The intention to be in a circle where a spiritual center invites the invisible world of spirit or soul to be in the center of the circle and in the center of the psyche of each person in the circle. Through meditative silence or silent prayer, wisdom and peace enters. Circles foster both the ability to voice what matters and say out loud what is in the heart and mind, and an equally important ability, to listen with compassion. Circles evoke a sense of sisterhood, and also a feeling of being connected to one another, at an archetypal level.

FROM TOM HESS (Christian Education Class Moderator)...
JOIN IN ON OUR CLASS SUNDAY MORNINGS
Every Sunday there will be suggested daily readings to be discussed once a week at 9 am Sunday morning prior to the 10:30 service. The class will last about an hour and will be a discussion of the readings for the past week. A discussion about what the week’s reading meant to you on your spiritual journey. The beauty of this marvelous book is that it speaks to each of us wherever we are on this journey and as a result we grow, establishing a closer relationship and hopefully understanding of not only God but the world we live in today. In doing so, you by December 31, 2023 will have read the entire Bible. This a great experience for anyone wanting to have a greater understanding of the Bible and our God.
The Bible simply put is nothing more than a history of mankind’s relationship with God. We attend UCC Ft Lauderdale in order to have a closer relationship with and understanding of God and after this year you will have a closer, better relationship.
You will need to acquire a bible and it should be The Daily Bible in Chronological Order 365 Daily Readings. You can acquire a copy of the book at Abebooks or Thriftbooks, Amazon or Ebay among other places. I would suggest purchasing a used book and saving money.
