SUMMARY:KC Oasis Volunteers at Micah Ministry
DESCRIPTION:At Kansas City Oasis our values are “People are more important than beliefs”\, “human hands solve human problems”\, and “meaning comes from making a difference”. In that spirit\, we partner with Micah Ministry to help feed and clothe those in need. \nThe Micah Ministry is a charitable organization that seeks to help anyone\, regardless of race\, gender\, religious (or non-religious) affiliation\, sex\, sexual orientation\, or any other trait – as long as they could use some help\, the Micah Ministry is there to help them. \nThe Micah Ministry operates in a way that’s a bit different from traditional support organizations. They feed those who seek their services with a restaurant-style waiting operation: volunteers take drink and food orders and deliver the food to them\, providing seconds if needed and continuing to refill their drinks as needed. \nIn addition to food\, if there are enough volunteers\, they operate a clothing and household items (toiletries\, candles\, blankets\, and other items) store. Volunteers ask each person for their order\, go back into the store room\, and retrieve the requested items as long as they are in stock. \nThe Micah Ministry is a religious organization\, which means that the event is started by an optional group prayer at the beginning. \nIn our past volunteer experiences with them\, we have never been pressured to pray with them and they have always been glad to have us participate in their group. \nPictures are permitted to be taken prior to the admission of those in need\, but\, once people are being admitted into the dining area\, no pictures are allowed. \nBy participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Joseph Davidson\, “Unleash Your Inner Scientist”\nCommunity Moment: Brittani Rhoades\nMusical Guest: Annie Ellicott \nScience is a process of discovery and innovation that has challenged some of the oldest institutions of civilization and allows humans to alter the entire planet in a way no other species ever has or can. The method\, at its core\, is remarkably simple\, but though every living person is affected by science\, few practice it\, and even fewer understand the difference between science and the results it produces. This presentation will explore the basic steps of science with real-life examples\, and show how anyone can be a scientist. \nAbout the speaker:\nJoseph Davidson is a chemist specializing in analytical and synthetic organometallic processes. He has a master’s degree from the University of Michigan\, and his work spans a wide range of experience\, from exam question writing to materials development to analytical chemistry in faraway places. He created trading cards and essays for the 118 chemical elements “just for fun.” Joe also dabbles in musical composition\, history and teaching. see explores the interface between science and art and enjoys transmitting his joy of discovery and learning. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

A native of Rockford\, Illinois\, Cantwell\, his wife and two sons have called Kansas City home for the last four years. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Catherine Futter\, Ph.D.\, Director\, Curatorial Affairs\, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art\nCommunity Moment: Guy Neiderhauser\nMusical Guest: Clearly Guilty \nCatherine L. Futter was appointed Director of Curatorial Affairs in January 2016. Prior to that\, she was The Louis L. and Adelaide C. Ward Senior Curator of European Arts and The Helen Jane and R. Hugh “Pat” Uhlmann Senior Curator of Architecture\, Design and Decorative Arts. She has completed several reinstallation projects for the museum as well as a major international loan traveling exhibition\, Inventing the Modern World: Decorative Arts at World’s Fairs\, 1851–1939\, and several contemporary art and design exhibitions. Catherine has a B.A. in Medieval and Renaissance Studies from Duke University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in the History of Art from Yale University. Her dissertation was on the 19th century New York interior decorating and furniture manufacturing firm of Herter Brothers. Although Catherine is a generalist in the field of decorative arts\, her specialization is in American and European decorative arts from 1850 to the present. She has focused on the interaction between different cultures and their influence on the decorative arts from the 15th century to the present. \nCatherine’s investigation of the cross-cultural influences on the decorative arts has led to the publication of “Chinoiserie in Northern Italy – Japanned Decoration in a Rare Eighteenth-century Piedmontese Gabinetto in The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art\,” in Furniture History and the essay “The Federation of Mankind: Cross-Cultural Influences in the Decorative Arts at the World’s Fairs” and co-editor with Jason T. Busch of the catalogue Inventing the Modern World: Decorative Arts at World’s Fairs\, 1851–1939. Catherine has curated contemporary design and decorative arts exhibitions: Resting Places Living Things: Designs by Michael Cross; Forever; an installation by British ceramic artist Clare Twomey; and The Future of Yesterday: Photographs of Architectural Remains of World’s Fairs\, sculptural photographs by Belgian artist Ives Maes. She has taught the history of European and American decorative arts 1750 to the present at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the University of Kansas\, Lawrence\, as an undergraduate and graduate course and lectured extensively on decorative arts. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:Sunday Gathering: James & Michelle Morgan\, "Mobility Matters"
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 10:30 am for coffee and conversation.\nSunday Gathering begins at 11 a.m.\nChild care is provided. Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speakers: James & Michelle Morgan\, “Mobility Matters: How Spare Change Can Bring About Great Change”\nCommunity Moment: Nate Brame\nMusical Guest: Pablo Sanhueza & the Subtropicals \nJames and Michelle Morgan\, active participants at KC Oasis\, are excited to announce the launch of the “Mobility Matters” international humanitarian project in Nicaragua\, in cooperation with Metanoia Ministries and the Free Wheelchair Mission. Being poor in the developing world is hard. Being poor and disabled in the developing world is a nightmare. Most disabled people in the poorest places live their lives in a dark room. Without wheelchairs\, the handicapped must be carried everywhere or are forced to crawl. Their families are forced to make impossible decisions\, to go out and find work to provide food and other basic needs\, or to stay home and care for the needs of their loved one. It is heartbreaking. But a free wheelchair can dramatically change the lives of the disabled and their entire family. Because human hands solve human problems and meaning comes from making a difference\, James and Michelle will share the why\, where\, when and how of Mobility Matters. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:Sunday Gathering: Twyla Dell\, PhD\, We Are Our Mothers' Daughters
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 10:30 am for coffee and conversation.\nSunday Gathering begins at 11 a.m.\nChild care is provided. Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Twyla Dell\, PhD\, “We Are Our Mothers’ Daughters”\nMusical Guest: Julian Davis \nBetween Hilary Clinton’s July 29 nomination speech that ended with “I am my mother’s daughter and my daughter’s mother” and October 6 (a little over two months)\, Twyla Dell organized eight of her friends and their friends to write their mothers’ stories and publish them in the volume\, “We Are Our Mothers’ Daughters\, 9 Women Who Made a Difference.” It was their effort to promote Hillary Clinton’s run for the White House as the first woman president. Among their many self-discoveries in this process was the realization that to really know yourself\, you need to write your mother’s story. Five of the authors are local and will give excerpts of their mothers’ stories and their realizations about themselves. Twyla Dell wrote her own mother’s valiant story of running from state to state away from an abusive husband and father to protect her children’s very lives. Now freshly returned from the Women’s March on Washington\, she will share stories of that journey as well. A second volume of “We Are Our Mothers’ Daughters” is accepting mother stories for a Mother’s Day 2017 volume. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:Sunday Gathering: Gretta Vosper\, West Hill United-Toronto Oasis
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 10:30 am for coffee and conversation.\nSunday Gathering begins at 11 a.m.\nChild care is provided. Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Gretta Vosper\, West Hill United-Toronto\nCommunity Moment: Mike Aus\nMusical Guest: JJ Cantrell \nGretta Vosper has served West Hill United\, a congregation of The United Church of Canada located in Scarborough\, Ontario\, for nearly two decades. With the leadership of the congregation\, she has transitioned West Hill beyond doctrine and created a theologically barrier-free community known around the world for its groundbreaking work. West Hill is featured in the documentary Godless and the upcoming film Losing Our Religion\, by Zoot Media.\nIn an act of solidarity with secular Bangladeshi bloggers identified as atheists\, arrested and threatened with execution\, Gretta identified as an atheist in 2013. Recently\, the United Church has initiated a review of Gretta’s effectiveness as a minister based on her atheistic beliefs. A hearing of her beliefs took place in June 2016; Gretta was found to be “Unsuitable for ministry in the UCC” and has been recommended for dismissal. \nGretta is the author of the national bestseller With or Without God: Why the Way We Live is More Important that What We Believe\, and Amen: What Prayer Can Mean in a World Beyond Belief\, an exploration of prayer stripped of supernatural expectations. Additionally\, she has published three collections of poetry and continues to write new lyrics to traditional hymns. Nonexclusive inspirational liturgical and music resources prepared for use at West Hill – where those who hold traditional beliefs share the pews with others who don’t – are used internationally. \nGretta serves on the board of The Oasis Network\, a growing network of secular communities. In the past she has served as a director and officer of The Clergy Project\, an international network for clergy who no longer believe\, and founded the Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity. Gretta also serves as a vice-chair of the Board of Governors of Centennial College. \nYou can learn more about her at www.grettavosper.ca. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:KC Oasis Volunteers at Micah Ministry
DESCRIPTION:Join KC Oasis as we help feed and clothe those in need at Micah Ministry! \nThe Micah Ministry is a charitable organization that seeks to help anyone\, regardless of race\, gender\, religious (or non-religious) affiliation\, sex\, sexual orientation\, or any other trait – as long as they could use some help\, the Micah Ministry is there to help them. \nThe Micah Ministry operates in a way that’s a bit different from traditional support organizations. They feed those who seek their services with a restaurant-style waiting operation: volunteers take drink and food orders and deliver the food to them\, providing seconds if needed and continuing to refill their drinks as needed. \nIn addition to food\, if there are enough volunteers\, they operate a clothing and household items (toiletries\, candles\, blankets\, and other items) store. Volunteers ask each person for their order\, go back into the store room\, and retrieve the requested items as long as they are in stock. \nThe Micah Ministry is a religious organization\, which means that the event is started by an optional group prayer at the beginning. \nIn our past volunteer experiences with them\, we have never been pressured to pray with them and they have always been glad to have us participate in their group. \nPictures are permitted to be taken prior to the admission of those in need\, but\, once people are being admitted into the dining area\, no pictures are allowed. \nBy participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).
