What To Do: Then And Now?

Sunday Service on Zoom at 10 a.m.

We are certainly living in interesting times, as the old Chinese curse has it. But we’ve been through turbulent and seemingly existential challenges before. Lay leader, Deryck True, examines the explosive America of the 1960s and his responses then, as a teenager, compared to our current threats and what he sees as his responsibilities and plans for tomorrow and the days to follow.

Listening to our Bodies

Are you feeling scared of getting ill with the virus? Are you fretting about your immune system or eating more than you usually do? Or are you sitting more in meetings and watching more TV than usual? Our bodies may be more vulnerable than usual during this time because of our change in rhythms and the possibility of getting sick. This service will help us connect our minds and hearts to our bodies and focus on listening more deeply within.

Feeling Alone?
