Listening to our Bodies

Are you feeling scared of getting ill with the virus? Are you fretting about your immune system or eating more than you usually do? Or are you sitting more in meetings and watching more TV than usual? Our bodies may be more vulnerable than usual during this time because of our change in rhythms and the possibility of getting sick. This service will help us connect our minds and hearts to our bodies and focus on listening more deeply within.

Feeling Alone?

Service Sunday at 10:00am via Zoom

These are challenging times, especially for those who live alone. Loneliness was a major struggle for Americans before this pandemic began. And now, with the ‘Stay Safe at Home’ order, isolation is becoming even more rampant and challenging for many in our community and beyond. This service will look at how we can address the issue of loneliness and find support in new ways.

Easter Reimagined

Traditionally during Easter, we celebrate resurrection, rebirth, and renewal. It’s a time of celebration and coming out of the darkness.
