Music & Spirit Service
Sunday Schedule is below
Join us online or tune in on Facebook Live!
We believe that music is a portal through which we may experience ultimate reality. Just as there are many spiritual paths that lead to meaning, there are many musical routes to spiritual experience.
Our music includes acoustic folk, Hindu kirtan, piano and organ, choral anthems, classical harp and chamber music, and indigenous music. Along with music, the services combine spiritual readings and reflections on world issues and personal values, as well as Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist and Native American beliefs and sacred texts. Spiritual healing is quietly woven throughout the service. Gathering members are welcome to light a candle to commemorate a prayer or event.

This can be a challenge since our lives are made up of transitions and changes. Pastor Don will explore the lessons we can learn from transitions, offering tips to shift our view from believing that life happens to us, to a belief that life happens for us.

Transform Like the Trees!
Sunday, September 28, 11am
Lao Tzu wisely said, “Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” As the seasons shift and change, the leaves let go and we may do the same. Rev. Kim Marie will draw upon many of the ancient spiritual teachings as well as nature to explore the nature of these transformational times and the need to continually "let go". Music and spirit provided by Patrick McAndew and a ritual for the community will be offered. Join us in the Meach Cove Sanctuary or click below to watch live on Facebook.
