"Celebration Sunday:  Money and the Meaning of Life”

What happens to our sense of self when we live our lives as though money belongs strictly in the realm of the material? What is the result of thinking that our worth corresponds to our finances?  Do we take money too seriously, or not seriously enough?  Come to church this morning and hear about the approach that one philosopher takes in his book, Money and the Meaning of Life. After publishing several successful philosophical books, Jacob Needleman surprised his colleagues and his followers by going out on a limb and writing a book that puts money where it really belongs.

"Becoming a Friend of the Divine: A Journey Not a Destination?" 

Friendships are mutual. On this spiritual journey called life, we will encounter different relationships with groups of people that we may refer to as friends. But sometimes the friendships that we involve ourselves in may crowd our view and hinder us from spiritual, emotional, and communal growth. It is only when we decide to cultivate an appreciation for the sacred on our journey that we will really find true friendship that remains through sickness and health. It is on the road of life that we become friends with the Divine.

Speaker: April Jackson, seminarian, Claremont School of Theology
