Thanks to a grant from the Lilly foundation, Union Church will offer special events and experiences in a season we are calling “Breathe and Sing: Together with One Voice.” In Sunday worship, in special events and classes you are invited to explore how to catch your breath in challenging times. Everyone who wishes can experience voice lessons, breathing techniques for health, Alexander Technique classes for alignment and ease of movement, song classes with local and national leaders, and much more! Rev. Christina Ryan Perkins will be our pastoral guide April-July. Find out more at union-church.org/breatheandsing
May 27, 6:00 pm, Artist’s Way . When engaging with Arts and Spirituality, our fingers follow the Spirit’s lead (no wrong way); products are important but the meditative process is primary. Dr. Jennifer Elam will lead book making and the writing of a prayer, poem, or story; music and movement will be incorporated. We will circle at the end and share, bringing together the writing and the art. (reminder – no Open Table) Register here
