Join us this Sunday as we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day in worship. We’ll wonder together about what it means for non-indigenous people to live on stolen land, and how we might find a way forward together. All are welcome!

Our Classes This Week are as follows:

Library — Share the Plate, Share the Work Join our Committee on Shared Ministry to discuss the future of our Share the Plate ministry and learn more about how you can get involved!
 
Sanctuary Zen & the Art of House Maintenance Join Mike Kercher as he explores different ways to enjoy DIY home maintenance and projects that you can be proud of!
 
Social Hall  — Stories & Dreamcatching with Les White Face Join Les to listen to stories from his life on the Pine Ridge reservation and watch him practice his mastery of the craft of dreamcatchers.

Important! Please Read!

We have been experiencing a growing issue with peanut residue in the building, especially in the library.  Please, do not bring peanut products into the building, and if your little ones enjoy their peanut butter snacks before coming, please be sure their hands are clean before they touch surfaces used by everyone.  We are seeing almost daily allergic reactions, so we ask you to please be diligent. It may be an inconvenience to you, but it can be life-threatening to those who are allergic. 

Upcoming Events

Join us on Saturday October 26th from 2:00pm to 3:30pm for Vens. Gyaltsen and Tendar’s presentation about the Nalanda Monastery in France, monasticism, and tips on leading a meaningful life.

Snacks will be provided, please RSVP so we can have a headcount of how much to prepare. To RSVP, please email Mike Rothwell at mprothwel@gmail.com or call 307-630-5884.
