at 10 AM for

In-Person or Virtual Worship

We are approaching the season where we attempt to focus on things for which we are thankful. What are you thankful for? Have you ever considered that not only can we be thankful for the blessings and goodness in our lives, but we can even be thankful for the challenges and the opportunities in life. How do we give thanks in the midst of challenges?

Are challenges nothing more than an opportunity? If so, an opportunity

for what?

Join us this Sunday as we explore being thankful for challenges and opportunities

A Night with Terrance Joyce

THE ARTS AS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE – INSPIRATION THROUGH MANIFESTATION

You are invited to participate and take away what may benefit you In a conversation with artist Terrence Joyce as he shares the creative process of transposing the message of a profound mystical Inspiration into artistic form.

The artist discloses the guiding principles and practices gifted to him for this aspiration by many generous seekers encountered within the spiritual and artistic communities his journey has led him through.

From wisdoms learned in a monastic Catholic seminary thru the turbulent and transformative bohemian community of Greenwich Village and SOHO in the 1960’s and 1970’s, to the close friendship with an Indian saint and his disciples at their United Nations Peace Meditation mission the practices disclosed are both practical as well as secret and sacred.

Update from Your Pastoral

& Congregational Care Team

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in our distress.

Therefore, we will fear nothing, even if the earth gives way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

even if the waters roar and foam

and the mountains tumble with their surging.

God is our refuge and strength.

Psalm 46:1-3
