UPCOMING EVENTS 2025-2026
Thursday – October 2, 2025 – 1:00 PM – Spirituality Seekers,
Spiritual Seekers will meet at the home of Suzanne LaCount. We will be discussing Chapter 2 of Welcome to the Wisdom of the World by Joan Chittister. Contact Ann Ruggaber for additional information. Certain questions are common to all of us as human beings. Why was I born? What’s important in life? How do I know the right thing to do? What does it mean to “make a difference”? What’s wrong with me — why can’t I change? Such questions are so deeply human that they transcend time and place, religions and cultures. In this inviting book Joan Chittister presents the insights of others from different cultures throughout history who have grappled with the same kinds of life questions that plague us here and now.

Monday, October 6-November 10, 10:00-11:25, PCCF
New member, Nina Corazzo is offering a six-week series on Greek Goddesses in Mythology. It is not necessary to sign up in advance, and there is no fee.
Come and explore how the myths of Pandora, Daphne, Medusa, Arachne, Scylla and Circe were created. Through artwork and historical context, we’ll be discussing why these women were assigned such negative characteristics. Who wrote their story? Who decided what incidents in their lives were to be highlighted and what those decisions might reveal about gender biases in the Classical past.
For more information, contact Renee Caprile.

2023 comedy/drama: Monk is a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment that profits from Black entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, he uses a pen name to write an outlandish Black book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. Academy Award for Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay)

Title: Last Hope Island by Lynne Olson.
Leader: Kathy Evans
A groundbreaking account of how Britain became the base of operations for the exiled leaders of Europe in their desperate struggle to reclaim their continent from Hitler, from the New York Times best-selling author of Citizens of London and Those Angry Days. When the Nazi blitzkrieg rolled over continental Europe in the early days of World War II, the city of London became a refuge for the governments and armed forces of six occupied nations who escaped there to continue the fight. So, too, did General Charles de Gaulle, the self-appointed representative of free France. As the only European democracy still holding out against Hitler, Britain became known to occupied countries as “Last Hope Island”.
