A Time for Contemplative Art
and Silent Reflection
2:30 to 4:00 pm every Friday in the sanctuary
Hosted by Elaine Hild and Laurie Gudim
When Elaine was in Germany she loved being able to go and hang out in the sacred spaces of local churches. They were open!
We are offering the same sort of experience — a weekly time when the sanctuary at 301 E Stuart will be open for anyone who would like to come, sit in silence, journal, draw and reflect. Elaine will have her harp and violin and will often play during this time. This is not a performance but rather a meditation.
