"Writing Our Eulogies."
This Sunday, the 25th, at 9:15, Roger Smith, Maralee McMillan and Richard Weidler will finish the workshops on "Writing Our Eulogies." The title is a somewhat catchy shorthand for an elusive but hopefully meaningful and perhaps even useful bit of introspection--- looking inward, thinking about, and ideally putting into words a description of our faith journey as we contemplate the ultimate culmination of our wanderings. Whether you see yourself as a traditional Christian headed to heaven or as a questing pilgrim still looking for answers to the great riddles of the universe, trying to sum up what it has all meant might well be an interesting and useful exercise for any of us, and might also be useful to Richard or whoever might be leading our funeral celebration or memorial services. How do we want others to remember us? What would we like known, and emphasized? What words, and what tone, would be most appropriate? These are some of the questions they will try to contemplate in the "Eulogy" forum meeting(s), in workshop format.
