Religion in Aggieland Displayed
From May to August, Middleway is hosting a display of unique religious items found at thrift stores and resale markets in and around the Brazos Valley.
“Finding Religion in Aggieland” is part of a project led by spiritual director Heidi Campbell, who is studying where religion shows up in thrift stores and what stories secondhand culture tells about contemporary religion in Texas.
Each month new items will be added to the display related to a theme about prayer.
A short talk and reflection on the display will be presented the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. starting Wednesday, May 1.

ARE YOU DONE?
From May through August the “Dones Group” will meet the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. (May 1, June 5, July 3 & August 7) at Middleway. This group is for anyone who is looking for spiritual community outside the traditional structures of a church or formal religious organization. Is faith an important part of your life, but you feel that you are “done” with church? If so, come meet with others on a similar journey.
Drum Circle for Meditation
The next Drum Circle is Sunday, May 19 at 1 p.m., led by Amy Thompson. Drumming is a way to connect with the rhythm of life and find balance, wholeness and connection. No musical experience is necessary. Percussion instruments are provided.
Chanting the Psalms & Contemplative Sit
Deepen your spirituality by chanting the psalms. Led by Amy Thompson, this features Anglican and Gregorian chants using Psalms, followed by a 20-minute meditative sit (or centering). The next gathering is Sunday, May 19, 2-3 p.m.

​
Are communities of people necessary? This novel gives a look at "just how vital communities can be. The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store takes place in small town Chicken Hill, Pa. where Black, Jewish, and European immigrants, rich and poor, old and young, collide—defending, fighting, entertaining, feeding, and sheltering one another. This cacophonous melody of characters with all of their schemes and dreams reveal how home is where you make it—and how all of these 'outsiders' are anything but."
Join us for great conversation on the book Tuesday, May 21, at 6 p.m. Come in person, or join us via zoom.

THE BATTALION
The monastery presents itself spiritually as humbly as it does physically. Taking its name from the ancient phrase "via media," it is a picture of moderation between the "high" and "low" churches of the area
THE EAGLE
“My experience of church is churches are built for extroverts. It’s harder to find those quiet moments in a church’s life. … A place dedicated toward spirituality, meditation, contemplation, I think is necessary.”
KBTX
On Friday evening, the Middleway Urban Monastery offered people the opportunity to walk for peace, as a form of experiential prayer, for the situation in Ukraine and other parts of the world in chaos.
