During the holiday season, our losses can keep us from feeling the joy of connection and community.  Honor yourself by joining Poet, Therapist and Facilitator, Maiah Merino on Saturday December 13 from 1-4 pm or Sunday December 14 from 1:30-4:30 pm, for a three-hour gathering in the format of a Talking Circle.  You will be given the opportunity to acknowledge the strength of your life through the losses that have transformed you.  Maiah creates a safe space which allows participants to speak to, honor, and acknowledge their own life stories in a structured way. 

This gathering takes place in the Colonial Room.

Space is limited, so sign-up now! (12 spots only each day)

Cost: $25-$50, sliding fee

Please contact Maiah Merino to sign-up, or for further information: maiah.merino@gmail.com

To sign-up and help decorate the church with a poinsettia plant for the holiday season, visit the Information Table in Stuart Hall during fellowship hour, or email the Church Office.  You are not required to make a donation in order to honor someone, however, please be aware the poinsettias are not a budgeted expense, so we need to collect enough extra offerings to cover the cost ($7 per plant).  Poinsettias will be offered through Sunday, December 7.  The plants can be picked up and taken home on December 24, after the Christmas Eve service.  On the sign-up sheet, please note if the plant is in honor or memory of someone, and kindly provide their name(s).

Thank you for your generosity!
