Worship committee regular meeting. All welcome.

Sing and play along to all kinds of music, with folk being our anchor. We go around the circle and choose a song from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which is the source for most songs, or hand out lyric and chord sheets for other songs. Suggested donation of $3 to $5 per session, or whatever you can afford, to offset church overhead.

We practice in the engaged Buddhism tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh and meet weekly for meditation, mindfulness practice and Buddhist teachings. Our teacher, Fred Eppsteiner, teaches in St. Petersburg twice a month at our sangha meetings.

At 7:00pm, we will practice mindfulness sitting meditation for 30 minutes, walking meditation for 15 minutes, and then listen to a Dharma talk or participate in a Dharma discussion. Newcomer orientations are offered the last Wednesday of each month, beginning in January 2012, at 6:00pm.
