Everyone should bring an appetizer and a nice ornament in a brown paper bag for a "naughty and nice" ornament exchange.


DECEMBER

REIKI

Reiki is an amazingly gentle and effective way to manage stress and create health in your mind and body. An important thing to remember as we move into the holiday season when schedules start getting tight and stress levels rise!


If you are interested in receiving Reiki during the holiday season, please contact Ruth Henry (901.218.4234) or Marie Dunkle (770.335.0968).


JANUARY

DRUM CIRCLE

The next drum circle will be in January. More details later in December.

LAST WEEK

Last Sunday was a full house with music by Sweet Charity and a fabulous talk by Dr. Maggie Renken on the intersection of human, artificial, and divine intelligence, and humanity's calling in the newly arrived age of AI.


Unfortunately, there was no video recording of this service, but we are working to obtain an audio copy. We will let you know if one becomes available.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

Energy and persistence conquer all things.
