Please join us on Saturday (30 March 2024) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.

This group will be meeting via Zoom and not in person.

This is a sitting Buddhist meditation including a brief introduction to mindfulness meditation, 20 minutes of sitting, and followed by a weekly teaching.

The group is free and open to all.

On this Sunday, both classes begin our season of focus on peace, social justice, and the interdependent web.

Please join us on Sunday (24 March 2024) for our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM.

Our adult religious education class is now a dual-platform class — meeting in person in the church social hall and also on Zoom.

On 11 February 2024, the adult class watched “Why Awe is Such an Important Emotion” — a video featuring Dacher Keltner (author of Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life).

The adult class has decided to read his book together and all are welcome to join the class.

This week we will be discussing Chapter 9 (“The Fundamental IT:  How Spiritual Life Grows Out of Awe”) and Chapter 10 [“Life and Death (How Awe Helps Us Understand the Cycle of Life and Death”)].

We only have three more chapters and two more sessions to go on this book, but all are welcome to join us at any time.

We still have a few books available at church and we can always order more as needed.  The cost is a donation of $15.00 but please don’t let money be an obstacle to having the book if you want to be part of the group.
