"Life As a Bowl of Gumbo"
Curt Collier, Leader

Food is not simply something we eat, but an experience shaped by history, cultural tradition, sociology, politics, and place. When we lose that connection, we lose our soul. Too often, food gets reduced to nutritional ingredients, saying nothing about the world that gave rise to it. Of Cajun descent, Curt Collier will prepare a dish of Big Mama’s (his grandmother’s) Gumbo, sharing something of its stories and the spiciness of human passion, all peppered with a celebration of Life.

Earth Rise - Earth Rise will resume on September 13.

Sunday School Ethics for Children will resume on September 13.

Friday, July 10
7:00 PM (Doors open 6:30)
Ceremonial Hall – 4th Floor

The President’s Analyst - a comedy-thriller/political satire/sci-fi humdinger. Come see James Coburn tongue-in-cheekily star in this 1967 film as Dr. Sidney Schaefer, recruited by the CEA to help relieve the President of the pressures of office.

The fun of the flick is watching Dr. Schaefer try to evade his pursuers
(FBR, Canadian Secret Service, KGB, etc.) as he escapes from his duties to seek a moment or two of peace.

Join us for a true comedy-with-sci-fi classic, followed by a lively discussion led by Andra Miller. Suggested donation $5 (popcorn & drinks).
