Sacred Space: A Contemplative Prayer Gathering // SUN SEP 10 @ 6PM // main hall // We will explore spiritual practices that can benefit our mental health, such as meditation and centering prayer. Contact jeff@hotmetalbridge.com.
 
Kintsugi Worship // SUN SEP 10 @ 7PM // main hall // Kintsugi Worship brings mental health and spirituality together so that we find healing in our communion with God and with one another. Kintsugi is a Japanese art form in which breaks and repairs are treated as part of the object's history. Broken ceramics are carefully mended by artisans with a lacquer resin mixed with precious metals. The repairs are visible — yet beautiful. Contact jeff@hotmetalbridge.com.

Monthly Art Nights // start MON SEP 11@ 7pm // youth room // All artists and aspiring artists: come together for an evening to create and hang out on the second Monday of each month. Bring your own supplies or use what’s available. Bring a personal work in progress or start something new – maybe even something that could be used in an upcoming Sunday worship gathering! Gail Thompson, Laura Phillips, and Patty Frankhouser are organizing the hangouts. Email p.frankhouser@gmail.com.
 
Family Potluck Breakfast // SAT SEP 16 @ 9:30am // main hall // Attention parents of children: there will be adult conversation. That might be all you need to know. But also: it will be a community conversation on how to best support the younger members of our church in this next coming year. Bring your favorite breakfast food to share. After we eat, there will be childcare for the youngest kids in the nursery in order for us to dialogue about what it means to belong to one another in this season of life. Click here to RSVP.
