Karl Anthony Hold the Sky Concert
Monday, June 6
7:00 pm ~ The Chapel |
Common Ground is pleased to present Karl Anthony in concert.
Karl Anthony is a musician whose career has spanned more than three decades and taken him all over the globe. His performances feature a synthesis of eastern and western musical styles, such as the infusion of kirtan call-and-response chants. These are mixed in with a little acoustic rock and Karl's amazing story telling. Anthony says, "singing together is a pathway to pure joy and a quiet acceptance of the bitter sweetness of life."
Karl has received several Gandhi/King Season For Nonviolence Peace Hero Awards for his humanitarian efforts and innovative music.
This is a don't-miss event.
Tickets are $18 in advance/$25 at the door

SOLE TO SOUL ~ WALKING THE TALK
During the month of June, Reverend Glenda and Reverend Judy invite us to step into everyday holiness by remembering the importance of 'walking our talk'; of demonstrating the spiritual principles we have learned at an academic level.
They will help us be aware of times when there is disparity between what we say we believe and what we actually do.
They will invite us to follow 'the path less traveled'; the path of compassion, non-judgment, selfless service and love.
They will invite us to embrace the metaphorical idea of the story of the baby Buddha. It is said that everywhere he placed his foot, a lotus flower bloomed. Grace. Compassion. Wisdom.
They will remind us to not only pray, but, also, to 'move our feet' in service to one another and the greater good of the whole.
Take time this summer to remember the Truth of who you are and live that Truth from the depth of your Being.
Please join us every week for an hour of inspiration, music, message and meditation. Everyone is invited and included.
Come as you are. As you are is perfect.
