Drums are provided - no experience required - and it’s FREE! Put your hand on your heart - feel the beat - we all have a drum within us!
Wednesday, June 7, 2023 - The Gathering
On Wednesday, May 3rd at 6:30 p.m., you are invited to “The Gathering.” Through sacred moments of silence, scripture and music, we have the opportunity to re-set, re-charge and re-focus our awareness of the Divine Presence of God, always where we are at every moment. Quiet your mind, open your spirit and focus your heart on the 1st Wednesday of each month in the calming presence of God and Spirit. This meditative service is a wonderful way to center yourself for the month ahead. The Gathering will not meet in April.
IN PERSON WORSHIP (masks are required) ...
Sunday Mornings at 10:00 a.m. - In Person Worship
Our new worship series, “Emerge" begins. The butterfly has long been a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus, as well as our own resurrection as we emerge from the power of fear and death. In this series, we will consider the process of metamorphosis as a guide to examine our own transformations from cocoons and tombs to the unfurled beauty of all God calls us to be. Each week, a Guided Reflection Journal will be handed out during worship with the week’s theme and “Questions for Metamorphosis” and Reflection.
The Gathering at 6:30 p.m. on the First Wednesday of the Month
Through sacred moments of silence, scripture and music, we have the opportunity to re-set, re-charge and re-focus our awareness of the Divine Presence of God, always where we are at every moment. Quiet your mind, open your spirit and focus your heart on the 1st Wednesday of each month in the calming presence of God and Spirit. This meditative service is a wonderful way to center yourself for the month ahead. Our next Gathering will be on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. Masks are required.
