<br>
Seeing the need for a stronger, more resilient presence when one actively engages in the world, Toni Pieroni and Bob Russell have decided that more specific practices are critical to help maintain balance in the face of today's uncertitudes. As a result, they have chosen our next Circle to be entitled <strong>Contemplative Practices for Challenging Times</strong> and to draw from the wisdom and inspiration of Bucko's partner Kaira Jewel Lingo, who works closely with him on Christian/Buddhist practices for contemplation and action. they will use her highly praised book with the intriguing title We Were Made for These Times: 10 Lessons for Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption. The Circle will meet virtually on Zoom, beginning May 6 and continuing for 10 consecutive Mondays.

<strong>May 5, 2024 at 10:30 am <br>

On May 5th, our congregation will come together in a spirit of celebration as we affirm and welcome seven remarkable youth into the full vision and work of our church. It's Confirmation Sunday—a significant milestone for these young individuals and a joyous occasion for our entire community. In preparation for Confirmation Sunday, we're offering an opportunity for everyone to contribute to the occasion in a unique way. You're invited to add your handprint and name to stoles, which will be presented to the youth during the ceremony. These stoles symbolize our collective support and love as they embark on this new chapter of their lives.</p>
