"The Love That Can Save The World"
As we celebrate the Sacred Season, and enter week three of Advent, we will explore the Love that Christ embodied,
and the path that he encouraged us to live in order to transform our lives and thereby transform the world.
Sunday Morning Meditation
Before our Service
Our community is dedicated to the practice of meditation and includes meditation as one of our core teachings. Meditating with a group is a particularly powerful practice that benefits not only the individual but the collective, creating radiant energy and loving kindness in the world.
