"Sanctuary" Spirituality Group

Wednesdays, 6 - 7 p.m. in Memorial Hall. 

“Sanctuary” is a time for prayer, study, reflection, and worship.  We open with a prayerful reading and reflection on scripture using a method called lectio divina. If you are unfamiliar with this method, then come learn about it. The second component is a book discussion. The third component of the weekly gathering is an opportunity to pray for one another and the concerns of our church, community, and world. Finally, on the first Wednesday of every month, we will experiment with a “diversity in worship” night, trying different styles of worship such as Taize, Celtic, Emergent, etc. What we do in the gathering will develop organically over time.

You are invited to experience something new in order to enrich your faith and spiritual life. And invite your friends who might be interested in spirituality but maybe aren’t sure they want to visit a normal Sunday morning worship.
 

A Little Space Yoga

Both daytime and evening yoga and tai chi classes are offered at First Central by Nicole Leclerc of A Little Space Yoga.  Contact Nicole at nsleclerc@yahoo.com to register.

Your body is not static: It is rivers of flowing energy, communication and information.

So feeling better is not difficult. All that is asked is that you spend a few moments every day listening to what you need and want to feel healthy and well. Maybe that means meditation, tai chi or yoga, maybe it means a walk, a nap, some nutritious food, a good talk, or even a hug.

 Sign up now for the six-week sessions of Tai Chi and Mixed Level Yoga. Also look for new classes and workshops coming soon.
