Book Club: Self to Lose Self to Find by Marilyn Vancil
Pssstt…do you love the enneagram? Or, are you curious about the enneagram? Or, do you hate it? Maybe read this book to learn how a personality system can help us step into our full, God-given authentic self, as opposed to an adapted self given to us by the world. Read the book, then we will gather for some light snacks and deep conversation.

All Church Potluck
You know what to do! Bring your best crockpot or casserole. We’ll have a glorious feast and lovely conversation after Sunday service.
Labor Day Weekend Rest - No Gathering
We are taking a Sunday off. Please stay home and eat a big breakfast. Or, go camping. Or, walk a meandering path. Or, sit and watch a bird. Or, snuggle with someone you love.
We’ll provide an at-home liturgy through our weekly newsletter. We’ll see you next Sunday.
Depolarizing Ourselves
A free in-person workshop to become more aware of your "inner polarizer" and to learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule...and it will be facilitated by our very own Braver Angels facilitator, Joyce Wood. Please register here for the event. A light lunch will be provided.
Playdate at Lee Martinez Park
Hey kids…come hang at the park. We’ll do our best not to throw too much sand. :)

Floral Potluck
All are invited to gather to make pretty bouquets together. Here's how it works: bring a bunch of flowers from your yard or Trader Joe's and a vase. Then, we'll throw them on the table and arrange away. This sweet event is a low-stakes way to get to know someone or just to have fun while being creative. (Just to be really clear: this is not a food potluck :) )
Breath + River
Some of our fine folks meet on Wednesdays at high noon to engage in breath work using the Wim Hoff Method, and then plunging in the chilly Poudre River. This weekly interruption affords us a tranquil pause, a jolt of dopamine that always gives more than it takes, and a shared experience. Interested? Meet here. (close to Legacy Park).
