July 14 The Self: Who Are You, Really? Rev. Don Beaudreault
In a seminary class Don Beaudreault and the other students were told to break into pairs and ask each other various questions, one of which was WHO ARE YOU, REALLY? Each question was asked three times, attempting to “go deeper” into the consciousness of the one attempting to answer the question. Don is still grappling with that one question four decades later. Part of Don’s “self” is as a professional jazz piano player – which he will share with us.
See the Events page for Rev. Don Beaudreault's biography.

August 4 The Role of the Minister
Rev. Cyn Snavely
I have met leaders of congregations who act as the head of the congregation, assigning tasks to people, and expecting that their orders will be carried out. I have met leaders of other congregations who see their role as only to study and to teach and to then simply trust that the leaders of the congregation will make decisions based on what has been taught. I see my own role as somewhere in between.
