Have you ever considered what gratitude feels like? What does it feel like to wait for something you really want, something that could change everything? By tuning in to our own bodily experiences and movements we can freshly experience the Thanksgiving and Advent season this year. Each week we will experience a passage of scripture or theological theme through a combination of prayer, movement, play, and journaling. No prior movement experience is necessary. These classes are for middle school through adults of all abilities and disabilities.

Come participate in a great opportunity that combines fitness, faith and friendship in one do-able dose. All are welcome! Contact Corrie Berg for more information.

Join us Tuesdays, November 1 – December 6, in-person, 7:00-8:30 p.m., in the Conference Room of Nassau Church. This 6-week support group is open to adult members, family, and friends of Nassau and Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church who are moving through the challenging journey of grief, whether from a recent or not-so-recent loss of a family member. Strength and support are offered at every meeting through guided scripture, prayer, and shared experiences.
