SUNDAY SERVICE 

Onsite & Online ~  10 am 

Matt Chapa 

Knock Knock

Everyone knows “knock knock” jokes as variations of a well trod formula that are never really funny, if anything, just barely amusing… The focus of the service will be on the power of really having a NEW year, versus a revised and updated last year through the power of being open to the presence of being present, versus just being on auto-pilot and reacting. Waking up each day in a sort of Groundhog Day reality versus jumping off the cliff in a Butch & Sundance or Thelma & Louise or Harold & Maude fashion of living in the moment and harvesting a bracing version of what we could be.
