Vespers

End your week with a quiet pause at the Vespers service each Friday evening on livestream from 5:00 p.m. to 5:40 p.m. Wind down from a busy week and begin your weekend with this service of music, poetry, reflection, prayer, and meditation. To join on Zoom, go to tinyurl.com/Vespers-1stU.

Contemplative Practices

Join with us to sit together in silence. Bring more peace and joy into your life, increase mindfulness, and develop more perspective. First Thursdays (in Channing, A101) and third Thursdays (in Buchan Reception, B101) from 1 – 2:30 p.m. This is a drop-in group. Any silent sitting practice is welcomed and no prior meditation experience is needed.

Contact Patty C. and Ron W. or visit the event page for more information.

Monthly Labyrinth

This year, as we explore the church theme “Join the Journey,” we will have monthly opportunities to deepen our spiritual practices and focus on our inner journeys through the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth will be set up in Fuller Hall on the first Sunday of most months from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

We’re always looking for more volunteers to help us set up our sacred space and plan other labyrinth related activities throughout the year. If you’d like to volunteer, reach out to Teri M.

Monthly Community Circle

On most third Sundays after the service, we hold a drop-in Community Circle around the month’s theme. All are welcome to join for discussion and engagement! It’s a great opportunity to meet folks and enjoy time together. You are welcome to bring your lunch. Class time is about 90 minutes. Location details are shared in our weekly Front Steps e-news prior to that Sunday and on our Sunday morning preservice slides and Order of Service.
