SUMMARY:Harvest Contra Dance
DESCRIPTION:Come one\, come all\, for a lively night of music and dancing at “Flowers of Autumn\,” our Harvest Contra Dance\, Saturday\, November 9\, 7 to 9 p.m. in the parish hall. Erica Weiss\, caller for our Spring Contra\, will return for this event and will teach each dance. Live music will be joyfully supplied by the TPC folk band.\n\nContra dancing is a lively and fun tradition\, strong in New England since Colonial times. Typically danced to live\, fiddle-based music\, the tunes draw from English\, Celtic\, Appalachian\, and French-Canadian styles. Dancers form pair of lines\, facing (contra) one another\, with the lines moving opposite one another as the dance progresses. A caller first teaches the steps of each dance\, and then calls the steps as the music plays. The contra community is friendly and inclusive\, and the dances themselves make a natural mixer suitable for all ages and abilities — no partner required\, come as you are! You can see what this looks (and sounds) like from a recent Boston Intergenerational Dance Association Contra-party by clicking here.\n\nAdmission is free\, but donations are gladly accepted and help to defray the costs for the event — a $10 donation would be most welcome For more information\, email Robin Colgrove.

SUMMARY:Social Justice Community Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Your Social Action Committee will sponsor another in its occasional series of community potlucks on Friday\, May 3 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the parish hall parlor (with the candlestick). This one will provide you with another opportunity (including a special surprise) to learn about the community of Plazuelas\, El Salvador and talk about the possibility of a “sister” relationship between that community and our congregation. This idea will be considered at the upcoming Annual Meeting.\n\n\nTo provision this potluck\, our committee will provide vegetarian and vegan options\, in recognition of the impact of meat production/consumption on our bodies\, on animals\, and on La Madre Tierra. While all contributions will be more than welcome\, we invite you to join us in this commitment.

SUMMARY:Plazuelas-Parker Project
DESCRIPTION:As we move toward an Annual Meeting discussion of this idea of a Theodore Parker Church “sister” relationship with the Salvadoran community of Plazuelas\, we have more opportunities to discuss the idea from various angles.\n\n\nOn Saturday\, April 27\, you’re invited to a gathering designed for you to hear from representatives of Boston-area congregations who have undertaken a project similar to this one. We’ll hear from each of 3 or 4 representatives of sister projects about what the project has meant to their congregation\, and then we’ll open the floor for your questions and comments. Join us for what promises to be a fun and informative conversation.

SUMMARY:Begin Again: Sharing Experiences of the Holy
DESCRIPTION:Nancy Wilber\, Steve Greene\, and Rev. Anne invite you to the second meeting of Begin Again. In this group\, we share our various experiences of the “Holy\,” however we might view and name that. In this month’s meeting we will “begin again” with our feelings and reactions to God — as images\, experiences\, beliefs\, doubts\, or even the word itself — in relation to our own spirituality. We’ll also be learning to talk with one another more easily about these subjects\, respecting our differences and growing from them.\n\nNewcomers are welcome. Looking ahead\, we’ve scheduled a third meeting for May 21.  If you have questions and/or want to attend\, contact Nancy or Steve. From them you can also get a copy of the poem “Begin Again” by Nancy Shaffer\, from which the group takes its name.

SUMMARY:Contra Dance
DESCRIPTION:Come dance with us! A band of enthusiastic musicians from the TPC community will play for the dance\, and there will be a professional caller who is experienced with teaching contra and folk dance styles. All are welcome\, including newcomers.\n\nContra dancing is a lively and fun tradition\, strong in New England since Colonial times. Typically danced to live\, fiddle-based music\, the tunes draw from English\, Celtic\, Appalachian\, and French-Canadian styles. Dancers form pair of lines\, facing (contra) one another\, with the lines moving opposite one another as the dance progresses. A caller first teaches the steps of each dance\, and then calls the steps as the music plays. The contra community is friendly and inclusive\, and the dances themselves make a natural mixer suitable for all ages and abilities — no partner required\, come as you are!

SUMMARY:Adult Religious Exploration: Begin Again
DESCRIPTION:Have you had experiences that brought you into a space you might call Holy? “Holy” is capitalized to convey how deeply tender and vulnerable these experiences may feel\, and also how they may shine\, feel wondrous\, and widen our sense of reality beyond anything explicable. Some of us may label them with words like Spirit\, Goddess\, or God. Sometimes they feel mystical or like a special communion with something unnamed.\n\nSteve Greene\, Nancy Wilber\, and Rev. Anne hope you will gather with us to share\, listen\, and appreciate one another’s experiences. This is a time to attend deeply\, to listen to what our experiences have to say to us and perhaps gain new meaning from them. In time\, we may invite additional conversation about how we are enriched and sustained by these experiences as well as the language that works for us to draw sustenance from them and connect us with others on our spiritual journeys.\n\nWe will meet in the parlor. If you plan to attend or have any questions\, please contact Steve or Nancy
