SUMMARY:Accompaniment Workshop

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:Toni Paget Celebration of Life
DESCRIPTION:Longtime member Toni Paget died on the morning of September 4 at the age of 85 after living with cancer in her last year. Toni was a retired school teacher and here at the church she was a part of our Quilts of Love group as well as the Alliance. She was a faithful attender of the Eliot Institute retreats for many years. One friend said no matter the setting\, she was always ready to take on some creative project. Her creativity and generosity are evident in all of her many artistic endeavors\, especially her quilts which give comfort to all who have received them. She will be sorely missed by her fellow quilters. \nJoin us in Eliot Chapel to celebrate her life\, followed by a reception in Buchan Reception Hall.
