Opportunities For Spiritual Formation

Practicing Calm / Mindfulness 101 will be cancelled this month and will NOT meet on March 20, 2019.

On the 3rd Wednesday of each month, we gather in the Asbury Room from 7:30-8:30pm for some conversation about, and experience of practices that can calm our fears, lower our blood pressure, center ourselves and become more aware.
Some call this mindfulness.
Some call it good mental health practice.
Some call it spiritual formation.
Some call it prayer.
Either way, it can be very beneficial, healthy, practical and good.

All are welcome. No experience necessary.
Facilitator: Rev. Jeff Markay
