Faith CoLab: Tapestry of Faith: Miracles: A Multigenerational Program on Living in Awe and Wonder

Introduction

Part of Miracles

Dogbert (gazing at night sky): No matter how bad the day is, the stars are always there.
Dilbert: Actually, many of them burned out years ago, but their light is just now reaching earth.
Dogbert: Thank you for shattering my comfortable misconception.
Dilbert: It's the miracle of science. — Scott Adams

Participants revisit stories, activities, and themes of the program and have the opportunity to reconsider their own ideas about Miracles. Note: Two Alternate Activities provide hands-on experiences. You may wish to set these up as “stations” to preview or extend this workshop.
