As we gather in a sacred moment for a sacred purpose, let us make the most of our time together. As we sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, let us make the most of our time together. As we respond to the melody in our hearts, let us make the most of our time together. We come to worship the Lord our God.

Bible Study is 7:30 PM on Tuesdays via Zoom. Bible Study is currently reading “Jesus and Nonviolence” by Walter Wink. In this book Wink argues that Christian tradition of nonviolence is needed as an alternative to the dominant and death-dealing powers of our consumerist culture and fractured world. You do not have to own or have read the book ahead of time to participate.

Registration is open for a Fall 2021 online course starting Tuesday Sept. 7th, Exploring Spiritual Practices, led by Marcelle Martin, author of Our Life is Love: the Quaker Spiritual Journey. During the ten week course, participants will experiment with numerous approaches to meditation, prayer, and presence. We’ll seek to know more fully the nature of consciousness, our true self, and our connection to the Spirit. We’ll explore how mindfulness, awareness, and communion with the Divine affects not only our inner and outer lives, but radiates beyond us into the world. We will learn which spiritual practices are most suited to each of us at this time and explore how to make them a more integrated part of our daily lives. Online class time will include brief presentations, experiencing different spiritual practices, sharing in pairs and groups, and class discussion. No particular beliefs in God or prayer are required, only a willingness to earnestly try different practices, notice what we experience, and listen respectfully to the experiences and beliefs shared by others. Using Zoom and a private website for communicating with one another, we will be forming a vibrant community to go deeper together in our spiritual experience and explore the awesome mystery of our relationship to the divine.

Early Morning: 7:30 to 9:30 am Pacific Time (10:30 am to 12:30 pm EDT)
