ARE YOU DONE?
gathering a group that seeks to create space for those who would describe themselves as “done” with church, or those who no longer feel at home or accepted in church settings for a variety of reasons but who still want to grow in their faith.
Led by Heidi Campbell, with her husband Troy Shepherd, the group meets monthly on Wednesdays at 7-8 p.m. Next meeting: April 17.
Friday Meditation and Mindfulness
Center yourself and find peace in the midst of your busy life. Friday Meditation and Mindfulness, led by Becky Burks, meets monthly during the noon hour at 12:30 p.m. The next time: Friday, April 19.
Drum Circle for Meditation
The next Drum Circle is Sunday, April 21 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, April 21, 2-3 p.m.
Setting the Spiritual Woman Free
UPDATE - This retreat has been rescheduled to Sept. 14 due to a family situation for the presenter. We will reopen registration later in the summer.
An exploration of the spirit-fed source of strong women will be the theme of a retreat May 4, 9-Noon. Led by Dr. Vivian Dawkins, a spiritual director from Spring, the event will explore ways to discover the links we have to all the Mary's in the bible, and all the Martha's in our world. Participants will reflect on their strengths as women of God, Dawkins said.
IN THE NEWS
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.
