Upcoming Special Activities
Listening Circle: Post-Election Action | Sunday, December 1, after service | Sanctuary and Zoom
It’s time for us to gather and make plans for action. How will we strengthen our circles of care? How will we organize ourselves to be most helpful and useful to those already at risk? How will we rise in action? This is just the first of many conversations we are going to have about community care/mutual aid.
Winter Spiral: A Ritual of Light for December Darkness
Sunday, December 1, 5:00pm – 7:00pm | Sanctuary
In this ritual-based experience, we’ll walk a spiral-labyrinth of introspection and intentionality, adding the light of your presence, hope, gratitude, and love. There will be space for sharing and for solitude, and all backgrounds and experience levels are welcome to attend. Join us as we mindfully bring light into this season of darkness.
Winter Online Auction | Bidding will be open December 5 – 15 | Link coming December 5
Help keep the winter blues away by participating in our Winter Auction FUNdraiser.
