Fourth Friday Tad Talks
Like a Ted Talk, but a tad different... Our church, and indeed our city, is filled with experts. Join us for this monthly program, brought to you by Adult Faith Development, to hear one of these experts share their wisdom a la Ted Talks. With 15 minutes allocated to presentation, and 15 minutes allocated to moderated discussion, this is a quick and easy way for adults and youth to live into our third principle: "We're free to learn together!" Please note, all sessions will be recorded, and posted on First Church's YouTube channel for later viewing.The first of these programs, Finding Joy in the Middle of Crisis, presented by Rev. Mary Tarbell-Green, will take place Friday, September 25, from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and is open to all adults and teens alike. As a hospital chaplain, Mary has many years of experience holding, and uplifting those in crisis. Come, hear her speak on this subject, and then share your own thoughts and questions during a moderated discussion. Register by days end Thursday. Just click on the flyer below. Connectivity information will be sent morning of.
