Lessons and Perils of Time Travel – 07.26.2009

How did you feel the last time you looked at pictures of yourself from high school? Was it like looking at a picture of yourself – or somebody else? TJUC member Graham Shelby has been looking through old yearbooks because his twenty-year high school reunion is coming up later this summer. He’s been thinking about all the things he didn’t know then and wishing he could go back in time and have a conversation with his younger self. And of course, even if it were possible, would it be a good idea? Join us for this intergenerational service as we explore the lessons – and perils – of time travel.
