Members and friends are invited to share information, ideas, opinions, and other edifying materials. Each Sunday (except for holiday weekends or those with a potluck after the service, usually the first Sunday each month), a volunteer will lead a discussion about a topic of interest. The Forum will begin at 9:00am ET, and end around 10:15.
