Rev. Beau Rivers preaching Nineteenth century, Indian mystic, Rama Krishna said,“The winds of grace are always blowing; it is for us to raise our sails.”But how do we raise our sails when grace comes disguised as loss, failure,or unwelcome change? How do we remain open to life, to love, and to the futurewhen the present feels so uncertain and frightening? How do weallow ourselves to accept the gift of grace in its many guises? Special music will be presented by a youth duo, Isla Rowe on flute and Sydney Benard on clarinet.

Do you enjoy hand crafts such as knitting, crocheting, embroidery, needlepoint, quilting, etc.?  We are resurrecting our hand crafting group.  We gather once per month to work on our projects, offer support, and also make prayer shawls for folks in the congregation in need of comfort.  Come experts and newbies (we can help teach you) and gather for handwork, snacks, and conversation. 

Members of this team are trained to offer lay pastoral counseling. They may also provide meals; visits; phone calls; cards; transportation to medical appointments, the grocery store, church, or social outings; help with yard work; music; or respite/break time for caregivers. Contact: Susan Curtiss
