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.

Our Beltaine ritual will take place in the church or in the grove, depending on the weather. This is a very special time of year. New life bursts forth all around and bird song fills the air. What better time to celebrate the fertility of the May King and the May Queen? It's sure to be a magical good time, so join us if you can.

Remember, if you've never danced the Maypole, now is your chance!

Stay and chat afterward if you can. You are invited to bring a snack or drink to share after the ritual if you would like.

Are there stories and photos that have guided you in your faith?  To honor and celebrate your path and life's mission statement, you can create a Faithbook at any or all of our scrapbooking events.  Do you have photos that need to be organized?  We share ideas, inspiration, a table filled with photo/paper-cropping tools, idea books, and stories.  The most treasured gifts come from our hands and our hearts.  You may bring your own supplies or use ours to get started on your project.

"Forgiving Emerson"

Joanna Henderson

Ralph Waldo Emerson probalby made many mistakes in his life but one in particular stands out. We can learn from what he believed, preached and wrote about at the same time we forgive him. This is a sermon abut help and helping.

"Shared Ministry Means Hearing Voices"

In the pulpit: Ministerial Candidate, Michael Leuchtenberger

Ministry is the act of serving. Ministry happens when people care. Ministry happens when people care. Ministry depends on how we listen. For ministry to have impact, ministry must be shared. Welcom to the team, everyone.

"Welcoming the Stranger"

In the pulpit:  Ministerial Candidate, Michael Leuchtenberger

We like to welcome strangers who seem to welcome us and are likely to fit in. Important work, yet, what do we do when it takes courage to reach out to the stranger? What do we do when our welcome requires us to take risks because of possible humiliation, disappointment, and rejection? Radical hospitality depends on reaching out. Truly welcoming the stranger means we need to take risks.

Directly following the service, there will be a Special Congregational Meeting to vote on calling the ministerial candidate to be the settled minister.

Meets Thursdays, weekly

This class practices a broad range of postures to tone, cleanse, and relax, the muscular and nervous systems, while opening all the joints of the spine, hips, shoulders, and limbs.  Mindfulness during centering, yogic breathing, postures, and the ending deep relaxation invite the subtle nonphysical benefits of yoga.   It is appropriate for a range of students.  The approach is sufficiently safe, gentle, and even-paced for new students, while providing experienced students with plenty of opportunity for challenge and development.

Led by Beck Anamin
Meets Thursdays weekly at 8:30 - 9:00 p.m. following Yoga

This has turned into a popular event. It's a time to share songs and stories that honor our Mother Earth, the Goddess and the God. We'll bring and teach a bunch of songs, so don't worry if you don't know any. But if you do know some bring them along and teach them to us!.  There will be some snacks that night, and time to chat. Feel free to bring a snack along to share if you want. If the weather cooperates, we'll be in the grove, with a fire, so bring a chair. Otherwise, we'll be inside the church.

Family Ministry is the first committee to kick off Candidating Week. An ice cream social will be followed by a Q&A session. In addition, Michael will spend a bit of time introducing himself to the children present.

Please RSVP to Marianne. This will ensure that we are prepared with enough ice cream and adequate child care staffing.
