An Opportunity for High School Youth
Do you love thinking about Big Questions?
What makes a good life?
Is there such a thing as truth, and if there is, how is it found?
Is there such a thing as free will?
Why is there something rather than nothing?
How can we know the “right” thing to do in complicated situations?
If
the answer is yes, we’d love you to join us for our Sunday Lunch
Philosophy Discussion Group at First Parish Church of Berlin (lunch
provided).
Designed for youth who come from any faith tradition
or no religious background at all — this is a secular discussion group.
We’ll use short readings from historical and contemporary philosophy or
video clips from movies or TV shows that help us uncover what we really
think about our life and our world.
No homework, no grades — just an opportunity to ask deep questions in a casual, fun and low-stress environment.
When: 6 Sundays, October 17th – November 21st, 12-1:30
Cost: Free
Where: The Children’s Church (yellow building) at 24 Central Street in Berlin.
Please bring layers for comfort — we will plan to meet outdoors if the weather cooperates.
Who’s
invited: Any high-school aged youth with interest (Know someone who is
slightly younger but might appreciate the opportunity? Contact us and
we’ll talk.)
Leaders: Rev. Janet Newton, former high school and community college philosophy teacher and Victoria Gaisford, B.A. Philosophy
For more information or to express interest, please email Rev. Janet at minister@fpcberlin.org or phone/text her at (978)592-2329.
