Every Monday we offer an hour of mindfulness meditation. This Buddhist-based practice begins with brief instruction followed by two sessions of sitting meditation. We break the hour up with a session of stretching and walking meditation. Chairs or cushions are available. You can join in-person in the church Library or online using Zoom.
If you have any questions you can email Susan at: semiddle@iu.edu

The course is intended to be a journey of exploration and enrichment for each participant. In every meeting we are invited to bring a poem to share. It can be a published poem by any author, or it can be one of your own. You are encouraged to choose a poem that promotes or expresses spiritual expression or exploration for you. You may wish to use the course as the framework for your own spiritual practice or development, but this is not required. Facilitated by Linda Pickle. Meets in person on Tuesday evenings, 7-8:30pm, on March 24, 31; April 7, 14, 21.

If you have questions, please contact Linda using this contact form. Registration is limited to six adults, 18 years of age or older. 

A weekly Young Adult hangout where there's a different "Thing" every week. Work on your arts and crafts, discuss books and movies, play a game or just enjoy the company.

Recognizing the need for connection, pastoral care, and opportunities to be community, Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray and Dr. Stephanie Kimball will lead weekly gatherings for anyone who wants to check-in and just be in community. You are welcome to bring a sack lunch or snacks. 

In the words of Connie Zweig, “Aging is our next frontier - a physical, emotional, moral, cognitive and spiritual frontier. Its mysteries and its terrors need to be faced consciously and mindfully.” This class will introduce processes and tools for doing this work, examining our own lives and supporting each other as we explore the path to elderhood. Facilitated by Stephanie Kimball. Meets on Wednesdays, 2 - 4 p.m., from January 14 to April 8 (no class on March 18).
