CREATE RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS?
Rev. Nancy Wilson
Sun. | Feb. 16 | 10AM
This Sunday we will focus on scriptures that tell us that loving God also means loving our neighbor, and the stranger. We will hear from Jesus’ teaching from the Sermon on the Mount about forgiveness as a key to right relationship. How do our relationships shape who we are, and who we become? What are the keys to fostering healthy relationships? In our 25th year, will SunCoast MCC continue to become a place that nurtures our relationships with one another, with our neighborhood and our world?

Join Us in Worship: Lent Entering the Passion Of Jesus
Feb. 26 through Apr. 5
The events of Christ’s Passion, which take place during the last week of Jesus’ life, often don’t receive enough time in our worship and study. These stories are important to our faith journey and our identity as followers of Jesus. And yet we often move too quickly from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday with little time to take in the dramatic story of that last week. Throughout the six weeks of Lent we will “freeze-frame” moments in Holy Week so we might put ourselves in the picture, thereby “Entering the Passion of Jesus.” How might taking a closer look at the ancient story open us to deeper conviction for our role in its ongoing message?Y

EVERYBODY YOGA WITH REV. NAOMI KING, RYT-200
Wednesdays from March 4 to April 22 at 4:45PM to 6:00PM
Cost per Class gratitude donation (50% of which supports the ministries of SunCoast MCC)
Yoga is an embodied spiritual practice that seeks liberation and unity within ourselves and for all beings. Contrary to many media images or studio practices in the West, yoga is for every body, not only athletic bodies. This energizing and centering class involves breath practices (pranayama and pratyahara), movement (asana), and meditation (dharana and dhyana). Participants may practice seated in a chair, using a mat, or flowing between a chair and a mat.
Gear:
Bring a yoga mat (unless working totally from a locking wheelchair) and a beach towel. Wear comfortable clothing.
Minimum Ability Level:
Beginner-friendly
