THIS WEEK (July 25-31)

* Buddhist Group

Wednesday, July 27, 9:30 a.m.

Come explore Buddhism with us Wednesdays from 9:30-11:00 a.m. in the chapel. Even if you have no previous experience with Buddhism, consider joining one of these groups. A typical session usually starts with some chanting and meditation to help us calm our minds and focus our thoughts. Then, after a brief reading or lecture, we discuss how to apply what we have learned to our daily lives. Questions are always welcome. We are a friendly, welcoming group. Check out a session or two.

* Children & Youth Program in the Chapel

Sunday, August 7, 10:00 a.m.

Drumming with Tom Foote: Rhythm Kids will bring the drums and the fun for a wild journey. Children enjoy 45 minutes drumming, improvisation, and lots of movement and silliness as they prepare to form their own village-style drum circle. We like to bring enough drums for children to have their own or to share with another drumming buddy. With any Rhythm Kids program, get ready to sing, dance, drum and play!
