Women's Gathering
Our Next Gathering is Friday, January 25, 2013 at 6 PM
Join us in the Church Parlor as we enjoy food, fellowship and discuss "Growing Older - Challenges and Opportunities." So often, we don't have the conversations we need to have with those who matter most to us. The absence causes a disconnect with our loved ones. Talking with adult children, parents, spouses and partners about our choices is essential as we age. How do we want to live and how do we want to die? What documents do we need to have in place to ensure our choices are upheld? How do we clean up unfinished business; deal with grief and illness; meet the challenges of giving and receiving care? The Reverend Shannon White and Jane Adams will be the facilitators for this forum. We will gather at 6pm. There will be a chili supper [both meat and vegetarian] at 6:30 PM and the discussion will start at 7:30. Suggested donation $15. Finger food appetizers and desserts gratefully accepted. All are welcome. Click here to make a reservation.
Women's Gatherings are held several times a year either as a Sunday brunch or Friday evening supper. They are a wonderful way for the women of the Church to get to know one another better, to form nurturing friendships, and to provide a forum for self expression and shared interests. Typically, a Church member gives a brief talk about her life experiences, which have included:
- a trip to Iran
- founding and managing an investment management firm while raising four children (including triplets)
- a later-in-life interest and study of twelfth-century cathedrals in France
- life as a television journalist and church minister
Women's Gatherings are a treasured tradition at RHCC, built on the happy collaboration of many members who serve as chefs, hostesses, setters and clearers, speakers, lively audience members, and the friendliest of friends.
