"If a (wo)man is to live, (s)he must be all alive, body, soul, mind, heart, spirit." - Thomas Merton

 

Hello Everyone!

 

Each morning this week start with this simple meditation: as you inhale say to yourself, "I am breathing in, I know that I am breathing in" and as you exhale say to yourself, "I am breathing out, I know that I am breathing out." Below is the video we watch this past Sunday.

What's Behind the Wall? SSP Fundraiser

In between services please stop by the display located in Founders Hall to purchase a brick ranging in price from $1.00 - $100.00. Each brick purchased will reveal a bit of what's behind the wall.

 

We've already raised $1,688.00! Thank you so much to everyone who has helped support us!
