Miraculous Moments

In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. When our thinking stays static in a framework of linear time, every minute appears to be a means to a future end, a resource to be used in the production of eventual outcomes. How do we remind ourselves that each moment is sacred beyond any utility?

In Person Coffee Hour
Be our guest for Coffee in the Atrium before and after the service. Light lunch in the Social Hall after the service.

It’s About Time

Time is one of the great challenges of modern life — we feel stressed, harried, overworked. So often, it feel like we never have enough time for what we need to do.
