December Service

Our next regular monthly service will be on December 6th, 2009. We'll be talking about generosity, and how it manifests in the lives of freethinkers.

And our own Freethinking Santa Claus will be on hand to meet your kids! (he'll also have an important message for you)

Welcome to the North Texas Church of Freethought!

We are a rational approach to religion, offering atheists, agnostics, humanists, and freethinkers all the social, emotional and inspirational benefits of traditional faith-based churches, but without appealing to tradition or superstition. Our growing community of freethinkers provides a positive, affirming environment for leading a good life, free of the illogic and intolerance of other religions based on holy books and supernaturalism.

Our regular service takes place on the first Sunday of every month at the Wyndham DFW Airport North. Plan to arrive at 10:00 AM for coffee and fellowship, followed by our service from 10:30 AM until 12:00 PM. We encourage parents to bring their children to participate in our freethinking "Sunday School," where they will learn about the wonderful world around us with other children from freethinking families. We encourage you also to join us at The Golden Corral at the Grapevine Mills mall, where most of us converge directly after the service to eat and chat for up to several hours. If you've missed our service for the month, catch up by downloading our latest bulletin, subscribe to our email newsletter, subscribe to our podcast or listen to it on iTunes. You can also now find us on Meetup.com!

If you have questions about the NTCOF, they've probably been answered at our FAQ. If not, please drop us a line by email or voicemail. We hope to see you soon!

TFC 2009 - Review Print
Written by Cody Evans

Several members of the NTCOF and sister DFWCoR organizations recently attended the second annual Texas Freethought Convention, held November 14th in San Antonio Texas. The event featured several speakers including author and physicist Victor Stenger, Stuart Bechman of Atheist Alliance International, Kathleen Johnson of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers and American Atheists, and Dan Barker from the Freedom From Religion Foundation. 
 
 
The highlight of the convention for me was hearing the ever-charismatic Dan Barker, a former minister and Christian music writer, play songs for us on the keyboard and talk about the events that led up to his rather interesting deconversion. There was also a fairly interesting panel presentation at the very end of the day, which included all previous presenters in addition to biologist Clare Wuellner from CFI Austin, and to whom the audience could ask questions. The most interesting of which, in my opinion, ended with Clare talking about the problems with the Texas State Board of Education being overrun with creationists who are trying to change our education standards in a way that is anti-intellectual. Another bright spot, and a change from last year, was that plenty of breaks were added in between speakers which gave people more of an opportunity to talk with other convention attendees.
 
 
Socially, the convention was also lots of fun as many of us arrived the day prior and met up for drinks and dinner at a local Mexican food restaurant. Most of us were staying at the same hotel so we hung out for several hours afterwards. The night of the convention the NTCOF sponsored an after-party in two suites and many of the day's presenters were in attendance for those who wished to converse (and drink) with them in a more informal setting. It was also a pretty decent opportunity to meet people from other DFWCOR organizations such as Metroplex Atheists and UTD’s student group.
 
 
The most exciting news to come out of the convention is that Dallas-Fort Worth was chosen as the location for the 2010 convention thanks largely to the efforts of Zach, Whitney, Amie, and Terry McDonald from Metroplex Atheists. This event is going to be loads of fun and its our responsibility to make the 3rd annual convention bigger better and more entertaining than years one or two so we need all the help we can get.  Hope to see you there!

The NTCOF team raised $1595 for Alzheimer's research in support of the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk. Held at the Dallas Zoo on November 21st, 2009, we had a great time walking with hundreds of other volunteers, and then shared a well-deserved lunch together at Cosmic Cafe in Oaklawn.
