2019 Welcome to Adult Faith Enrichment!
The Women's Spirituality Gathering, guided by Terry Hackford, meets in the Parlor on the third Thursday of every month. The next meeting will be on April 11, 2019. Around 7:15 PM we start with ten minutes or so of silent meditation to music--for anyone who would like some quiet time. From 7:30 on we explore a different theme each month. Time is also set aside for sharing concerns and celebrations in our lives. We close with prayers by 8:30 PM. This is not a formal group, but a drop-in gathering open to all women of Eliot, past and present.

"Joy"
The Women's Spirituality Gathering is guided by Terry Hackford. We meet in the Parlor.
Let’s end the church year on a high note—our theme on June 20 will be JOY. How do you define joy? Experience it? Nurture it in others? In Emerson’s words, how can we “scatter joy" ?
