Led by the Rev. Melissa Carvill-Ziemer and Worship Associate Max Grubb – A colleague recently asked me whether I have ever used the teleprompter app on an iPad when preaching my sermons.

How do we decide when technological developments can help and when they might actually hinder our growth?

Led by Seth Carrier and Worship Associate Elaine Bowen – When we have too little control, life can feel overwhelming.  When someone in our lives is trying to exert too much control, we can feel trapped.  Claiming an appropriate amount of control in our lives is thus very important to our emotional health and well-being.  One way we can seek to find that balance is by shifting our perception of the amount of control we have.  Part of that perceptual shift is letting go of the things we think we control, but actually don’t.  By doing so, we can help ourselves lead a healthier, more balanced life.
