Our Co Presidents: George Kanuck and Laura McFadden
“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.” - Nido Qubein, president of High Point University
Here we are at the end of 2020, and we probably wonder how did we get here. We can spend a lot of energy thinking about 2020 and all its hardships. On the other hand, we can use our energy to create the path that takes us forward. Now is the time to say here we are, and ask where do we want to go and how do we get there? Let’s plan to meet the challenges, and enjoy the ride together going forward. Happy New Year!

Our first 2021 theme will be "Awe"

January 10th - Rev. Dick Hood
Finding Awe - a personal story
We usually associate awe with looking to the heavens. Perhaps we've been looking in the wrong place.

This Week’s Contemplative Meditation Theme
Until we can gather again here are some thoughts for your meditation time at home:
"When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a candle in a windless place.” Bhagavad Gita
"Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.” Marcus Aurelius
