SUMMARY:Auction Donations (3/19 - 4/6)
DESCRIPTION:Because we bought our church property piecemeal\, we have many roofs of different ages\, and almost all are leaking now\, causing damage to floors below. That’s why this year’s auction—CREATING CONNECTIONS: MANY BELIEFS\, MANY ROOFS—wants your help to raise funds for roof repair and long-term maintenance. Consult with your friends to create an event—a group hike\, a fancy dinner\, your vacation home? Donations accepted online beginning March 19. Our motto is: “Bid High\, Keep Dry!” \n Donations start March 19 and continues through April 6. The Auction’s online bidding starts April 19 and ends May 3. More news to follow in later Front Steps editions. Stay tuned.

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.
