We Have Questions:
Do We Know What We Mean by God Anymore?
Speaker: C3 Teacher Kent Dobson helps people orient their life to be in deeper relationship with Mystery, the shape of their own soul, and to a meaningful sense of their unique voice in the world.
Musicians: Just Us is an a cappella group of eight women from Spring Lake, Grand Haven, Muskegon, and Kentwood. Their songs cover a variety of genres, with an emphasis on social justice. They generally don’t use instruments, microphones, or special effects. It’s Just Us. There will be a few familiar faces in the group!

Moment of Silence
Reading/Teaching: Kent Dobson Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there—on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
