SUMMARY:Peace Circle
DESCRIPTION:Peace Circles are one way to join the separated. In areas of conflict and misunderstanding around areas of division\, be it race\, gender\, age\, sexual orientation and many isms that you may identify\, it is a format of listening to each other’s stories by responding to prompts. This is an effort to join what divides and joins us in being a beloved community. I am requesting a sign up of a limit of 14 participants. Once people have registered\, I will send information on the circle format.

SUMMARY:Labyrinth Walk During Holy Week
DESCRIPTION:Labyrinth Walk during Holy Week: Walk the labyrinth at the church in our Memorial Garden during Holy Week. Walking a labyrinth is a spiritual practice that involves walking a path (at our church\, a circular single path design) to the center and back out again. It can be a time for prayer\, reflection and healing. Why walk a labyrinth? …to see life as a journey of faith\, to quiet the mind and practice mindfulness\, to gain insight and self-knowledge\, to feel solace and comfort\, to renew strength and perspective\, to pay attention and be present in the moment. The labyrinth will be available to walk from April 16th-18th\, Wednesday-Friday during Holy Week\, from 12:00 noon-1:00 pm. A member of the Faith Formation Council will be there to provide information and help guide you. You may find your way to the labyrinth by entering the Church St. door or by entering directly through the outside gate off of Hinman Ave.
