Ric Jones - This Way to Baggage Claim

This presentation will offer a very brief look at three components related to the 'stuff' that we all carry -- social location, shadow, and family systems and how each relate to congregational life and our own personal lives.  This positive message will provide some new perspectives that will enhance our own personal journeys and the life and health of this beloved community.  Ric will likely use one of the components mentioned in this service as a springboard for his next topic here in the early part of 2013.
