January 5, 2025 – The Power of Story & What Our Stories Reveal|
Andy LePage will lead our Service and Discussion.
We live in a world filled with stories: our own, stories of our families, stories of friends and neighbors; religious stories, political stories, cultural stories, and many more. Stories have been around forever; they were orally shared by cultures before written language, used to pass down history, and used to teach valuable lessons. Oral stories were handed down by families, tribes, and communities.
Today our stories come to us from the written and spoken word, from mass media, and from the wisdom of storytellers, to name just a few sources.
We will look at the profound impact stories have on us as individuals and on the society as a whole. Not only does every person have a unique story, a narrative shaped by our experiences, our challenges, and triumphs—but every one of our stories has value and helps reveal who we are.

Andy LePage, PhD: “We’ll look at what joy really is, what keeps us from joy, how to cultivate joy in our life, and how to rebuild it even during life’s difficult moments. We can’t always avoid sorrow, adversity, or distress in life, but there are ways to help smooth the rough waters and regain a sense of control — and joy plays a pivotal role in achieving this. And we’ll tap into some of Brother David Steindl-Rast’s wisdom in finding joy through gratefulness.”

December 24, 2023 – The Mystery of Christmas
What is Christmas? Christmas is a creation story steeped in mystery. But the birth of the baby Jesus shrinks this story and prevents us from focusing on mystery itself. We will try to fathom what mystery really is, and why it is important in life. For the Indigenous Peoples, mystery is part and parcel of their life. It gives them a sense of who they are and helps them fine tune their purpose. But for many Westerners, we live with little sense of mystery, and therefore many of us experience a diminished sense of purpose. Albert Einstein and Rabbi Heschel spoke volumes about mystery; we will let their words flow into us as we celebrate the mystery of Christmas. And we’ll sing anew, the old Christmas carols! Andy LePage, Ph.D. will be the Service Leader.
