Youth and Children
We want everyone to grow in love and feel free to be their full, fabulous selves, especially our children and youth. Kids-- along with their wiggling, laughing, crying, and noise-- are most welcome just as they are. We have activities and toys for them during worship. We try to have a family Sunday monthly where children can participate. Join us for family events like a visit to a local farm to celebrate St. Francis, bonfires, and our annual Christmas Pageant. Reach out with your ideas!
Sitting & Walking Meditation
Join us very Monday on person or Zoom at 1:15pm for walking and sitting meditation. We sometimes do one walking meditation and one sitting meditation. You may choose to zoom from the comfort of your own home! NO previous experience necessary for either meditation experience!
