Join us on Sunday, November 10th at 10:30 am for our Celebration Service with guest speaker Rev. Barbara Williams. She will bring us a timely lesson on "Adopting a Beginner's Mind." Christine Mariani will be blessing us with her inspired music to accompany this service.Jesus shows that children can teach the rest of us how to adopt a “beginner’s mind." He calls us to exactly what Zen masters call their students. One of Jesus’ favorite examples is a child. Every time the disciples are tempted to get into their heads, into their religious smugness, or to settle the dust before they’ve learned its lessons, Jesus brings a child in front of them.
A beginner’s mind opens us to awe, wonder, and true presence with God and others. Join us Sunday as we deepen our understanding and practice of "seeing our world with new eyes."
