Broadway Proper hosting Wonderland

Broadway Proper retirement community will be hosting a Winter Wonderland event Jan. 15 at 400 S. Broadway Place.

A happy hour will be in the main lobby at 3 p.m. A dinner by chef Michael Montesano will be served in the Sky Island Dining Room from 4 to 6 p.m.

Guests may be photographed against a backdrop of snow-covered trees. A classical piano performance accompanies dinner.

Cost is $10, and reservations are required; call 296-3238.

The Rev. David Wilkinson, pastor of St. Francis in the Foothills United Methodist Church, will present a discussion at 11:45 a.m. Sunday at the church, 4625 E. River Road, on the life and work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: A Prophet of Oneness.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the discussion, which will be in the Church Center.

De Chardin was a Roman Catholic priest who worked as a paleontologist in China for many years while developing a philosophy/theology focusing on evolutionary spirituality, according to a press release from St. Francis Church.

He sought to merge his evolutionary thought with Christian theology in what he called Christ consciousness. This got him into trouble with the Catholic hierarchy, and his books were banned by the Vatican.

Coffee and refreshments will be provided.
