Sunday, June 24th, 2012
led by Our Spiritual Conversation Group Leaders Ilene Rudman and Elizabeth Cobblah
Every other Sunday during the regular church year, a small group meets between our 2 services in the Minister’s study to share a poem and engage in reflection and spiritual conversation about it. Poetry can communicate with us in a deep and poignant way and is an essential part of a spiritual practice for many people. Perhaps you have thought about going to one of these open group sessions. This worship service will give you some insight into the spiritual practice of sharing poetry.
