225th Anniversary Theme Ideas

We are looking for a theme to capture the spirit of our church’s 225^th Anniversary Year. What has sustained us so far, what will sustain us for another 225 years? We are asking you to help us by posting your brief (no more than seven words or so) theme idea on a 3"x5" card to be found on the Welcome Table in the Bancroft Room. We will be collecting ideas over the summer during lay services. Or you can email them to the church office. If you like, add your name so we can acknowledge your contribution. The 225^th Anniversary Committee will choose among the submissions.

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan continues over the summer as listed in the summer events calendar. Now is the time to be kind to yourself! Please drop in anytime, or come to all. Each class is its own entity of breathwork, a yoga set, a deep relaxation and a meditation. Yoga quiets the mind so that meditation and merger can occur. No yoga experience or flexibility is required. Questions-please contact Diane Pingeton at dmpinge@townisp.com or 508-753-1797 or refer to the website kundaliniyogaforall.com also googles as Anahata yoga. Classes are from 7:30-9:00 p.m. in the Chapel. We are transitioning to Tuesday nights this summer as listed in the calendar. Sat Nam!

Monday Night at the Church

MNATC: Summer Schedule

Monday Night at the Church is on its Summer Schedule. The centerpiece of MNATC, Ken Waugh and friends’ fellowship dinner, will continue at least through July. Please note, several of our kitchen regulars will not be available this summer, if you can help in the kitchen or bring food, it will be helpful. It has not yet been determined whether a prepared dinner will be served in August. However, at the very least, people will be welcome to bring their own, do potluck, or order out.

Please keep Ken Waugh in your thoughts and prayers as he faces his journey and struggle with cancer. We love you Ken.

The Worcester Zen Community continues to meet throughout the summer, (Zen never ends!), at 5:30 p.m. with an hour of Zen (meditation) practice in the Chapel. No experience is necessary. If you can breathe and sit still at the same time, you can practice Zen!

We will continue to have occasional programs on Monday evenings including music and movie nights.

Please note that childcare is not available during the summer. Please feel free bring your children, but you will need to arrange your own supervision.

Volunteer Wednesdays

Volunteer Wednesdays are held once a month on the second Wednesday of the month at 9:00 a.m. There are now “Facility Request” forms available at the church office and on the kiosk in the Dining Room. These multiuse forms can be used to report building and grounds problems around the church that we can use to create volunteer projects. An Email Volunteer List is being started to notify volunteers to the upcoming projects on Volunteer Wednesday. If you would like to be added to the list email me at GeeBeeY@aol.com.

Dollhouse Class

On July 20^th, space will be ready for us to start making our dollhouses. Please meet me then at 7:00 p.m. in the Dining Room. Cassie has sent out a list of supplies. Call me (508-829-3571) with any questions. Nothing on the supply list is absolute. I'll bring things, but please bring what you can so that we don't have to wait for others to be done with the tool we want! Do go to Michael's soon, and get a half scale Creatology ("puzzle") dollhouse kit, so that if they've run out there's time to order more. And, get a piece of thick (about 1") wood bigger than the box the kit is in. Michael's has nicely finished ones, for about $12. Any board will do, it's for the base to keep the house firm. Look at everything, read the directions, think about colors, and don't punch anything out yet! I'm looking forward to this! Bunny Guerrin
