Spirit Week is an invitation to make intentional space for reflection on what matters most, on what brings us alive, on the energy that animates us and connects us to the universe in all its mystery. Spirit Week encourages us to “take a breath” as we go about our personal and congregational routines, adding a layer of awareness and consciousness to whatever it is we are doing. Spirit Week invites us to open our hearts and minds to holy inspiration. Spirit Week offers a multitude of practices for a peaceful grounding of our bodies and souls, a time to linger on the spiritual and moral values central to the love in our hearts.

Spirit Week (from Sunday, March 23 to Sunday, March 30) is an invitation for you to explore your spirit, by participating in offerings at the church or at home.

Here is our Spirit Week calendar of events and activities.  Please join as you are able – and bring a friend or two:
