“PROOF OF HEAVEN”
Lecture and Discussion with Dr. Eben Alexander
Tickets are $10 each and are available AT THE DOOR ONLY on a first come, first served basis. No reserved seating! The Sanctuary can seat approximately 400 people and we expect that it will get very crowded, so please plan to come early. Doors will open at 6:00pm.
**PLEASE NOTE**: Parking may be difficult with so many people expected. There are plenty metered spots on the surrounding streets (free after 6pm), but please pay close attention to “no parking” signs and please DO NOT park in private or business parking lots if they state they are for customers only. We do not want anyone getting ticketed or towed.

Our spirit is not dependent on the brain or body. It is eternal, and no one has one sentence worth of hard evidence that it isn’t.
Eben Alexander
Liberal Religion in New Bedford
We are guided by our mission – to encourage diversity and mutual acceptance, and to work for positive change in ourselves and in our community. In our relationships with one another we seek to realize the ideals of our covenant:
We value our diversity and pledge to care for one another
in the spirit of compassion, to speak and listen to each other
with respect, and to promote justice and kindness in the
world.
We welcome you into our family.
