Telling Our Stories
Sunday, January 12: Telling Our Stories. According to author Madeleine L’Engle, “Stories make us more alive, more human, more courageous, and more loving.” In this service we explore how telling our own stories and listening to the stories of others can foster the healing, authenticity, understanding, and connection we need so much right now. Coordinators: Paula Baker & Gina Campellone

On the Road to Positivity
Sunday, January 5: On the Road to Positivity. Given the human brain’s capacity to reorganize its synaptic connections—what scientists refer to as neuroplasticity—it should be possible through sustained practice to change our thinking, to transform the tendency toward negative thinking into a much more satisfying, useful and positive encounter with the world. This service was purchased at last year’s goods and services auction by Skip Gatting. Coordinator: Rev. Josh Pawelek
