Annual Plant and Yard Sale in on Saturday, May 18. (Please note that the sale has been moved back by two weeks.) This is one of three major fund raising events of the year. To make it a success we need your donations, but we also need your help. Please look at your calendar to see if you can help us with one of these tasks:
* Help to dig up and pot perennials early in May – can you also look in your garage or basement for any extra 8 – 10” pots that we can use to transplant the perennials;
* We need people who will sort through donations and price them on Thursday, May 16, from noon to 5:00 and again on Friday, May 17, from noon – 5:00. Starting at 5:00, we’ll move the donations into Fellowship Hall to be ready for the next morning.
* We’ll be serving brunch items. Can you bake an item to donate?
* On Saturday, May 18, we’ll need people to help us as cashiers. We’ll also need a crew who can move what remains after the sale into the parlor. To sign up for any of these tasks, go to www.concorduu.org/volunteer.php
UUFOR is collecting diapers for the refugee families with whom they work. When you donate a bag or box of diapers, you’ll get a handmade card, decorated by one of our Grades 1 & 2 Religious Education students, to give to your mother, letting her know that a donation was made in her honor.
This on-going Adult Enrichment group meets every week on Tuesday evenings for one hour of meditation including a reading. Come, sit, listen, and meditate with us.
This Adult Enrichment program is led by Beck Anamin, and meets Thursdays, weekly. Yoga is a multipurpose tool for improving a lifetime: the essence of Yoga is nonphysical inner development. To varying degrees for each individual, Yoga brings inner quiet, peace of mind, character strength, and spirituality. We each relate to it and its many physical and inner benefits in ways that suit our individual needs and personalities.
This Mindful Yoga program cultivates the abstract benefits. It encourages a quiet, mindful awareness while doing a full range of classical postures. Postures improve health through strengthening, purifying, and toning of the body, as well as of the nerve, and energy systems. Improved health, self-confidence, and a feeling of well-being, foster the inner results. Although the postures are a valuable tool, their improvement of the body is a byproduct, not the goal of Yoga practice.
Appropriate for a range of students, the approach is sufficiently safe, gentle, and even-paced for new students, while providing depth, variation, and practice options for experienced students.
