Speakers: Program Committee
The June 28 Service is first in a series of panel discussions that the Program Committee is planning. The subject is “Spirituality,” a wonderful word that many BuxMonters want to see more of in our services, but a word that means different things to different people. Aubrey McWatt will moderate the panel discussion around questions geared to reveal individual interpretations of Spirituality among panel members who represent a balanced cross-section of viewpoints necessary for an enthusiastic discussion. Panelists are Rev. Jerry Johnson, Jen Kloss, John Hook and Carol Myers. We will not take questions during the Service but will invite panelists and congregants back into the Sanctuary after coffee for a half hour discussion of points of view that were not covered during the panel discussion.

Speaker: Rev. Daniel S. Schatz
During the past month BuxMont members and friends have contributed numerous questions to this “question box” service. This Sunday, Dan will open the box and address the questions on our minds.

Intergenerational Service
Flowers are short lived, but carry with them the seeds of new and ongoing life. During our annual flower service this year, we will celebrate the dedication of new children and the bridging of youth. We will also bid farewell to Robin Pugh on her last Sunday at BuxMont. Please bring a cut flower with you to the service.

Speaker: Laurie Brooks
How do you reconcile these two issues? What role does belief play during this difficult time? Are there changes that occur in your beliefs when you most need comfort? Laurie gives a personal glimpse into her struggle to be spiritual during critical illness and its aftermath.

Speakers: Amber Bartol and Markus Fire
The Coming of Age Service is an opportunity for the adults in our Fellowship to explore the current thinking of our 14- and 15 year-olds regarding religion. The students have spent the year discussing religious ideas and refining their own spirituality. Each student will give a short presentation of the credo he or she developed with the aid of a mentor from the congregation. This is the opposite of confirmation in the traditional sense in that we ask teenagers to use their minds—not to memorize a set of criteria.
