The Still, Small Voice

Rev. María McCabe
October 3

Meditation is not evasion, it is a serene encounter with reality.
– Thich Nhat Hanh

From the story of the biblical prophet Elijah to the musings of Henry David Thoreau, the still, small voice has been a part of our human spiritual history. In this service we explore how that voice reaches us in times of chaos.

Is Anybody Listening?

Samhain

Worship Committee
October 31

Join Service via Zoom

Samhain (Sow-in, or Sahv-in) is the 3rd and final of the pagan harvest festivals; a time when the veil between the worlds is at it’s thinnest. The Dark Season of the Earth and Soul is a time for inner reflection and growth. Together, we will meditate on what this season brings, honor our loved ones and ancestors that have gone before us, and celebrate the eternal cycle of life.
