This Sunday is an ALL OUT Sunday!

Our next ALL OUT service is this Sunday! Your gathering group leaders will be in touch. (If you haven’t heard from them and you want to know the plan, do email them!)

Savour and Serve: Befriending Anxiety In Ourselves and Others

(including Children)

People often ask how to “get rid of their anxiety”, or how to “overcome” their anxiety. But anxiety is not like a box of recycling we can drop off and be done with. It’s also not an enemy we need to subdue. From early childhood we live in a world that feeds, and even endorses, our anxiety. We’re simply not going to “get rid of it”.

There is, I believe, a better, more whole and more healthful way: we befriend our anxiety. We offer our anxiety tender attention and kindness, and in doing that, we lower both the intensity and volume of our anxious feelings.

This workshop will introduce two simple practices that you can insert anywhere in your day – or your child’s day – that will change your relationship with your anxiety.

The workshop will take place Wednesday, August 7th.
7:00-9:00 pm @ the Shiloh Centre at the farm.

Baptisms this Summer:

Three young people in our church want to be baptized, so we’ll have a service of baptism at the end of the summer! Rather than the usual class, I will be having a “retreat” day with them on Sunday, August 4th in preparation for this moment in their lives. If any one else is interested, please let me know:)
