August 29, 2010: Don't Throw Shoes: Improv Comedy and a New Way to Think About How we Treat Others: In the world today, we all experience a so called "rat race". What if we were to change our thinking on our experiences and make it so that all we do is help other's win? One of the most important elements of Improv Comedy is to make everyone else on stage look good. If our lives are a stage, then what if all we ever did was make others look good? In this service we'll explore this concept, and even perhaps try out some Improv Comedy. Led by Shawn Sweeney.
