The 2011 Summer Symposium

"Understanding Our Liturgy"

Sundays: June 19 through July 24, 9:00 - 9:45 am

The better we understand our liturgy, the more meaningful our worship becomes. This summer, Fr. Matt will lead a discussion each Sunday between the 8 and 10 am services on the history, theory, and practice of our worship. Participants will be invited to bring their questions and explore their own likes and dislikes, while we learn about the cultural and theological influences on our worship. Please join us for a fun and fascinating conversation

The Evening Women's Groupwill meet on Tuesday, June 21st at 7 pm at the home of Marti Kennedy. All women are welcome to join us. We are a supportive group providing a place to share our lives and our spiritual journeys with each other, building friendships as we go. If you have any questions, please contact Donna Wiuff at 837-8768.

We have some items missing from the Kitchen!A very large metal bowl (generally used to put together salads and such) and a large metal whisk (which actually belongs to one of the Chefs of The Living Room, and not to the Church) are missing. If you have inadvertently walked off with these items or have seen them recently, please let the Church Office know by calling 707-579-2604. Thank you!

WE ARE ALL HEALERS is a workshop led by the Rev. Dr. Francis Geddes and the Rev. Brian Cochran. The workshop introduces the contemplative dimensions of healing prayer. Participants learn about ten different spiritual exercises drawn from Christian, Jewish, Eastern, and Native American traditions. These exercises enable  one to work with inner imagery that serves as a bridge between the ill person, the healer, and Christ. The training is held in a private home in Oakmont, for three Saturdays, July 9, 16, & 23; 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. Fee is $119, that includes the three sessions. Some scholarships are available. Limited to 12 participants, please register early. Deadline for registration is July 7th. Please see the forms on the long table in Farlander Hall. Call Francis at 579-6726 for further information or email Francis.Geddes@Stanfordalumni.org. Dr. Geddes is author of Contemplative Healing: The Congregation as Healing Community.
