Gratitude 101

A mother and son were visiting their local farmers market. They stopped at a stall, the vendor smiled at the little boy and gave him an orange. “What do you say to the nice man?” asked the mother. The child mulled it over, handed the orange back to the man and said, “Peel it.” OUCH! Not even a simple Thank You? Join us. Let’s talk about the Spiritual Practice of GRATITUDE.

Intent and Impact

Interpersonal relations is not rocket science. It’s more complicated and there’s always something new to learn as we strive to create covenantal community here – that is, a community based upon trusting relations.

All On Fire

Every Sunday we light a chalice because we need that sometimes we need to light a fire to create light, warmth and melt away the cold indifference of the world.
