A Cup of Morning Prayer

From Rev. Anne Marie Holloway

Every Monday at 7 am, join Rev. Anne Marie Holloway for a cup of morning prayer - in the quiet presence of God - focus on prayer. Most sessions are held in the sanctuary of nature, where church friends and families are invited to participate via FACEBOOK LIVE. Find your special outdoor space, and practice an ancient form of prayer known as breath prayer. If you cannot make it, you may request to have the recordings sent to you by email. Please share prayer requests in advance HERE. Your personal prayers of celebration and concern will be lifted up and held in gentle care by our small, private group.

Morning Meditation

From Rev. Judy Swahnberg & Mary Hill Canavan

We gather via Zoom every Tuesday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Whether you are new to meditation or practice it daily . . . please join us and be restored during this time together. Questions? Email Mary Hill Canavan or Rev. Judy Swahnberg.

Noonday Prayers

Tune into the church's Facebook page at twelve noon on Thursdays for a brief time (5-15 mins.) of reflection and prayer. Click here to participate via FACEBOOK LIVE.

Lent 2022: STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION

Believing that one transformation leads to another, your pastors would like to invite you-who-are-willing to share a story of transformation at a worship service during Lent. Our thought is to have three-minutes designated at each Sunday worship beginning March 6 and leading up to Easter for someone to share a story of transformation: a God-sighting, a time when the presence of God was made manifest, an experience of “a way being made from no way,” a movement from “mourning to dancing,” or finding “light in darkness.” We would love to talk with you in advance so we may pair your story with a Sunday scripture lesson. If we have more stories than Sundays, we’ll be creative! If you would be willing to share or know someone whom we should ask, please speak with one of your pastors.

VIRTUAL CONCERT ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11 at 7:45 pm to benefit the Resettlement of Afghan Families

Please join Temple Beth Elohim and the wider Wellesley community for what promises to be a fabulous CONCERT - REGISTER HERE! Tickets to the concert are FREE on the Eventbrite site although a donation is suggested.

The beautiful classical and contemporary music features professional musicians on flute, violin, cello and piano, as well as Temple Beth Elohim (TBE) Cantor Shanna Zell and Cantor Josh Rosenberg. Several of the musicians are very involved volunteers with our newly arrived Afghan family. Our expectation is to welcome our second Afghan refugee family between late January and mid-February. With donations from this concert, we hope to sponsor the resettlement of a third family. Contact michaelgilman315@gmail.com should you require additional information.
