Be My Partner on a Spiritual Path: A workshop for partnered couples, Sundays, 5-6 p.m., for six weeks starting March 8 in the Thurman Room.  Developed by Drs. Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt—theologians, psychologists, authors and founders of Imago therapy method (www.couplehoodasspiritualpath.com). Facilitated by Barbara and Jim Cummings.

Coming soon: Yoga. An open community class with a suggested donation of $12 per class. A perfect fit for those new to yoga, those with some experience and those who have a regular practice but would like to take the time to explore a slower-paced class. Take advantage of a relaxed environment to focus on the fundamentals and develop a strong foundation for an educated practice. We will cover basic breathing techniques, basic yoga postures and basic mediation techniques. The class will bring together two traditions that were once one; the Indian practice of body and breath and the Tibetan practice of intention and focus. Essentially yoga is a path towards ultimate lasting happiness. Drop-ins to individual classes are welcome.

 

Help Wanted: First Church needs a door monitor to greet and provide directions to people entering the church for various programs on Mondays and Thursdays, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Pay is $10 an hour. Please inquire in the church office.
