I. Potlucks (All interfaith potlucks are on Saturdays at 6 p.m.)
• March 3 at ICTC
[Short panel (2-3 minutes each?) on idolatry as viewed by our different faith traditions in the social hall, followed by “fishbowl” group interaction in the prayer room, led by Jenny Reike and Sabiha Khan.The panel will present the theory, and the interaction will be practical (encourage for discussion of putting ideas to practice). The Interfaith youth group will be encouraged to participate and may practice the fishbowl method before the potluck]
• May 5 at Shalom UCC
Theme: Major “Commandments” (like the Ten Commandments) in our faith traditions. We may try to have a "green" focus; discuss how today there might be an 11th commandment to be environmental stewards.
• October 6 at ICTC
• November 17 at CUUC - possibly the theme would be about thankfulness
