For the past year and a half, Third Act Faith (TAF) has been welcoming dynamic speakers to our monthly General Meetings. While we know you’ve enjoyed those speakers and programs, we felt that this summer would be a good time to return to our basic General Meeting format – a gathering of our TAF members without a speaker or a program.
During our June and July meetings, we’ll work to strengthen our community of faith-based climate and democracy activists by focusing on getting to know each other better. That means that on Tuesday, June 25, and again on Tuesday, July 30, the Third Act Faith General Meeting will be all about who you are and what you’re looking for from TAF.
As we expanded our membership efforts, we have enjoyed getting to know some of you through one-on-one conversations and occasional Meet & Greets. We hope our summer General Meetings will allow us to hear from even more of you about how you might engage with our work. If you are the type who likes to just listen in, these meetings might be a more comfortable setting than those more intimate gatherings.
To get you primed to connect with other TAF members, you can think about the following questions:
- What in your background led you to join TAF?
- What concerns you most in terms of the climate crisis?
- What do you see as the most pressing issues in this election season?
- What, if anything, do you see yourself doing to help effect change?
By the time our meetings roll around, you’ll be ready to share, learn, and connect!
We plan to keep the same general format, opening with music, centering time, and brief updates on our current campaigns, but we will also use small-group breakout rooms to help us get to know each other better and to hear your ideas about how Third Act Faith should show up in the world.
We hope you’ll join us for the next two meetings to help build and strengthen the TAF community. To give you even more reason to attend, we’re giving away two $25 gift cards for Third Act merchandise to two lucky winners at each meeting – all you have to do is show up on Zoom on June 25 or July 30 to get entered in the drawing!
Both meetings are schedule at 4:00 PM PT/7:00 PM ET, and you can register for the June 25 meeting here and the July 30 meeting here. Feel free to email us at thirdactfaith@gmail.com with any questions, and if you are interested in having a one-on-one conversation with a member of our Coordinating Committee, just complete this short form.
Please note that we do not plan to record these meetings, since we are encouraging your engagement during the meetings.
We look forward to your help in building community this summer!
