SUMMARY:foundations: christian theology & spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Join Pastor Tad for a weekly six session “survey” or “foundations” of Christian theology and spirituality class. It will be a VERY broad and summary introduction to the most important elements of Christian understanding. This class is probably MOST useful to people new to or exploring Christianity but can be useful to anyone who wants to revisit the traditional foundational elements of Christianity (sometimes in a non-traditional manner)\, but in an environment that is not meant to indoctrinate or convince\, but rather foster curiosity\, inquiry\, and deeper exploration. The class will combine lecture/presentation\, with conversation\, and may include some light reading. The class will meet on Monday nights from 6-7:45 pm\, October 5  – November 16. If you are interested in attending email Pastor tad at 253tad@ipctacoma.org  Your ability to participate in a minimum of 4 of the 6 sessions is recommended.

SUMMARY:Adult Nurture Sunday Study - Special Guests: Lynn Goralski and Tori Laird.
DESCRIPTION:As we enter voting season\, Adult Nurture has teamed up with the Rainbow Center to bring in two guest speakers representing the “No Hate in WA State” campaign’s mission to ensure our youth are protected from discriminatory laws. Join us at 9:15 AM this Sunday 10/25 in the fireside room as we welcome guests and longtime community advocates\, Lynn Goralski and Tori Laird. IPC’s own Tasha Leader will ground us with the critical importance of ensuring youth are protected from discriminatory laws and that the rights of queer and trans people are not infringed upon. This will be a time to learn more about the anti-LGTBQ initiatives on the ballot\, nurture truth by dispelling misinformation\, bring our own questions\, and learn together. Join us to discern how we can individually and collectively work to ensure the safety\, dignity\, and thriving of queer and trans youth in our own community and across our state.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Singing Circle - New Date November Only
DESCRIPTION:The Monthly Contemplative Singing Circle is meeting the first  Saturday of the month\, 10:15a to 11:30a in the Fireside Room.\nAll voices welcome! Friends and family welcome\, too! Together\, we will agree on a regular time to meet going forward. \nContemplative Singing: Singing as a Spiritual Practice\nThere are many ways people tap into their spirituality: prayer\, meditation\, yoga\, chanting\, writing poetry\, journaling\, dance and for some\, singing.  Contemplative singing utilizes a cappella singing to tap into emotions\, fostering joy\, peace\, and connection. While a single individual leads the session\, the song selection comes from attendees as they become aware of what they need to buoy\, heal or soothe themselves. \n\n\nContemplative singing welcomes all voices. Singing is an essential part of being human.  “We are born vocal noise-makers. Someone indicating in any way that another should not sing is violence to the soul.  It robs us of one of our primary forms of expression and communication.” Li Kynvi\, UU Minister & licensed music therapist. \n\nThe ability to read music is not required. At this Adult Nurture session\, we will:\nDiscuss the benefits of communal singing\nEngage in the practice of contemplative singing using the sample song lyric sheets provided\nDetermine specifics to create a monthly contemplative singing practice at IPC

SUMMARY:foundations: christian theology & spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Join Pastor Tad for a weekly six session “survey” or “foundations” of Christian theology and spirituality class. It will be a VERY broad and summary introduction to the most important elements of Christian understanding. This class is probably MOST useful to people new to or exploring Christianity but can be useful to anyone who wants to revisit the traditional foundational elements of Christianity (sometimes in a non-traditional manner)\, but in an environment that is not meant to indoctrinate or convince\, but rather foster curiosity\, inquiry\, and deeper exploration. The class will combine lecture/presentation\, with conversation\, and may include some light reading. The class will meet on Monday nights from 6-7:45 pm\, October 5  – November 16. If you are interested in attending email Pastor tad at 253tad@ipctacoma.org  Your ability to participate in a minimum of 4 of the 6 sessions is recommended.
