Mindfulness for Children begins April 15th and continues through July 1. As our children grow up and are faced with difficult choices we want them to be equipped to tune-in to the Spirit of God with them. We want them to seek God's guidance as they navigate life on the playground, in the classroom and in the world. Our children will experience a special 12 Weeks of Mindfulness program in God's Place during the 9:30 worship service. We hope all of our children can attend and bring friends!

Children’s Handbell Choir begins April 15th and continues on the first and third Sunday’s of each month from 10:40 to 11 or 11:10am. As part of our growing music ministry long time piano teacher and faithful God’s Place assistant and church member Jean Harrison will bless our children with an introduction to music education using color-coded handbells. Growing young musicians is not only good for our church, it is good for our children. “There’s some good neuroscience research that children involved in music have larger growth of neural activity than people not in music training. When you’re a musician and you’re playing an instrument, you have to be using more of your brain,” says Dr. Eric Rasmussen, chair of the Early Childhood Music Department at the Peabody Preparatory of The Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches a specialized music curriculum for children aged two months to nine years. You may sign up on Sunday mornings or let the church office know.
2nd Wednesdays - Group Spiritual Direction 12:30-1:30 led by Rev. Debra. Next meeting is Wednesday, April 11. Group Spiritual Direction is for anyone committed to going deeper in their spiritual journey, discovering how the Spirit is inviting you to grow in intimacy with yourself, with others and with God.
Centering Prayer followed by Lectio Divina (sacred reading) continues every Wednesday at 2pm in the Library. For those new to this, Centering Prayer is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Lectio Divina is engaging scripture or other texts to discover how Spirit is moving in our lives. All are welcome to attend both or either part of the Wednesday Centering Prayer meeting. Facilitated by Rev. Debra.
