News for Dec 29, 2020

This Sun, Jan 3

This Sunday at 10 am, Kevin Doyle will offer a message on hope. He writes: “There's a light at the end of the tunnel. The inside might be as black as the night, but at the end of the tunnel there's a light. We can see the light, but are still in the dark, and need to keep chugging along with caution, perseverance, and a positive attitude.” It's also a communion Sunday, so we encourage you to bring your own bread and cup. Join via Zoom.

Events this Wed, Dec 30

• Meditation chat at 8 am: Meditate on your own at 7 am, then join us for a discussion at 8. Join via Zoom.

We’re not going to the coast this year — at least not in January. But we can gather anyway! Plan to join us on Zoom on Sat, Jan 30 from 4:30–6 pm Pacific. More details later. PS: You can invite your friends too, since our virtual dining room is very large!
