We spend most of our waking hours remembering the past or planning for the future. Yet some of the deepest wisdom traditions remind us that the true reality is here and now. Let us wake to the present moment and the places we find ourselves, in all their complex beauty.
Join us for our August worship series, Awakening, as our minister, Lóre Stevens, shares her message, “Waking to What Is.” Our worship service will begin at 10:00 DST in person and on Zoom.
To attend by Zoom, please install the Zoom app on your device and use Meeting ID: 890 7958 2989. We will begin admitting guests at 9:45 a.m.
