Transcendentalist Running & Cycling Club Saturday, October 22nd from 8-9am Led by Rev. Nate Klug
For many people these days, exercise is one of our spiritual outlets. Runners and cyclists of all ages and abilities are invited to join Nate for an hour of exercise, spirituality, and community. We’ll meet outside First Parish (4 Bedford Road, across from the Lincoln Library). We’ll stretch and say hello, then hear a short passage of inspiration from one of the Transcendentalists. Then we’ll take off on a short run or bike ride through Lincoln. One person will lead the run, another person will lead the bike ride. After 40 minutes, we’ll meet back at the church to drink lemonade and reflect on what came up for us during our exercise. Visitors very welcome! Blessing of the Animals Sunday, October 23rd at 4pm Led by Rev. Kit Novotny Honoring the creatures in our care is one way we can cherish the living earth together. For the animal lovers among us, save the date for a short and sweet, family-friendly pet blessing service the afternoon of October 23rd. The service will be held outside on the front lawn, near the rainbow chairs, with guitar accompaniment by Bob Green. It is a great opportunity to invite your friends and neighbors! And if you’ve got a special animal you can’t bring — maybe your pet doesn’t play well with others, or you had a beloved pet you lost, or there’s a wild bird you love to watch — please bring a photo to share! Stuffed animals also welcome. Audre Lorde: Warrior Poet Monday, October 24th at 7pm Led by Sarah Klockowski “What are the words you do not yet have? What do you need to say? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? Perhaps for some of you here today, I am the face of one of your fears. Because I am woman, because I am Black, because I am lesbian, because I am myself – a Black woman warrior poet doing my work – come to ask you, are you doing yours?” Audre Lorde, “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action” This fall join our community reading group as we engage the work of Audre Lorde – a Black woman warrior poet – and ask ourselves what our work is today, and how we might transform our silences into language and action. This Monday we will be discussing Lorde's essay "The Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power."<https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e7cf4825b02c00b6a142f0c/t/5f4bee98ceb27e4afe99bd7c/1598811800640/audre_lorde_cool-beans.pdf> Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/92999613558?pwd=N2dRMUNMU1c3ZS9BMlNXc2I0MUNxdz09 Meeting ID: 929 9961 3558 Passcode: 867399
