SUMMARY:Loving Kindness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:The teachings of Loving Kindness\, or Metta\, are about finding a path with heart. Jack Kornfield says\, “It’s about undertaking a path that transforms and touches us in the center of our being. To do so is to find a way of practice that allows us to live in the world wholly and fully from our heart.” \nWith this Spiritual Practice\, one can cultivate feelings of happiness\, dispel loneliness\,  let go of fear and anxiety. If you are feeling stuck\, this practice can help you enjoy a more compassionate life for yourself and others. \nJoin us on Zoom on Monday evenings to extend Loving-Kindness to yourself\, to those around you and to the world. \nNo previous meditation practice is necessary\, and new participants are always welcome.  Join on an ongoing basis\, or drop in as you’re able. \nMay we be at peace and keep our hearts open. \nContact Katie R. for more information. \nClick here to join.

SUMMARY:Music Ministry Transition Team Online Listening Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception last summer\, the Music Ministry Transition Team (MMTT) has been actively engaged in helping church leadership and the Interim Director of Music Ministries move our music program forward. We’ve come to a point where we need to hear from congregants. We have already had three in-person listening meetings. We know that in-person meetings do not work for everyone\, so we have scheduled a Zoom meeting on May 20 at 7 p.m. \nOur objective is to hear your thoughts about how the music program has been evolving so far\, what you might envision for the future\, and what you have found positive about our current music program\, and what we need to improve. The MMTT looks forward to hearing about your feelings\, ideas\, and suggestions\, which will play a vital role in planning for the future of the music program at church. \nYou can access the Zoom meeting here.
