Book Discussion - Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America by Michael Eric Dyson
2018-10-01 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Edwards Church of Northampton, 297 Main St., Northampton, MA, 01060, United States
In his review of Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America by Michael Eric Dyson, Patrick Phillips, a professor of English at Drew University, writes of this book: “I can only hope that others will read and be changed by this book. It ends with a desperate plea for white Americans to rise up in defense of, and in solidarity with, our African-American brothers and sisters. Dyson, an ordained Baptist minister writes: “What I need to say, can only be said in “a plea, a cry, a sermon, from my heart to yours.”
The dates and time for this Monday evening book discussion are:
October 1, 15, & 29 and November12
from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Heritage Room
Please contact Deb Moore if you are interested in participating in this discussion.

Labyrinth Walk
2018-09-23 15:00 - 16:00 | Edwards Church of Northampton, 297 Main St., Northampton, MA, 01060, United States
All are invited to come and walk the Labyrinth on Sunday, September 23, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. in Addis Hall. The labyrinth is an ancient spiritual practice used by many faith and spiritual traditions. This spiritual practice is a form of body prayer which offers inspiration, guidance, meditation, contemplation, relaxation, clarification, wholeness, and healing for many. The labyrinth is not a maze. The three basic stages to this contemplative walk are: entering or walking into the labyrinth – a time to let go of distractions; centering – a time in the center to be still and silent to listen for God; exiting from the center – a time to gain direction, comfort, new energy – a time to move toward peace and a deeper relationship with the Divine.

Music at the Crossroads: 1200 Horsehairs
2018-09-21 19:30 - 21:00 | Edwards Church of Northampton, 297 Main St., Northampton, MA, 01060, United States
The cello quartet 1200 Horsehairs will present a concert on Friday, September 21 at 7:30pm in the sanctuary as part of the Music at the Crossroads series. The unconventional quartet features Edwards Church member Dave Haughey. They will play an eclectic range of music including arrangements of music by the Beatles, Queen, the Mommas and the Poppas, and Bruno Mars (among others) as well as traditional music from Bulgaria and Brazil, and Dave‘s original compositions. Dave is not your typical cellist, so don’t miss this opportunity to see what he does right here at Edwards! The concert is free, but all donations will go to benefit Berkshire Children and Families.
1200 Horsehairs is a band of four cellos playing popular and new music ranging from traditional to metal to modern original compositions. Its members, Dave Haughey, Pablo Issa, Karl Knapp, and Wayne Smith, are internationally active cellists who have played with the likes of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, The Paul Winter Consort, Eugene Friesen, and the Moody Blues, among others. They have been on faculty at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the Hartt School, and have taught and presented masterclasses at The Berklee College of Music, The University of Massachusetts, The Rio International Cello Encounter, Amherst College, and Depauw University.
Vitor Kelm Fotografia
Dave Haughey changes the way people think about the cello. His holistic approach to modern cello playing encompasses myriad genres and techniques, making him one of the most versatile young cellists in the world. He is an improviser, composer, and teacher who is always searching for new ways to expand the unique capabilities of the cello, thus trailblazing a path to a world where the instrument is known not only for is place in classical music but also a versatile and ubiquitous tool for music making in any genre. He has performed with the Paul Winter Consort, Eugene Friesen, Zohar Fresco, Armen Ksajikian, Roman Stolyar, Andrew Bishop, and others across the globe from the USA, to Asia, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. Dave has taught private lessons and workshops at festivals and schools around the world, including at The Berklee School of Music, The Conservatory of Tatui, the Rio International Cello Encounter in Brazil. He works as a performer, recording artist, teacher, composer, and once even on screen for an upcoming (undisclosed) Netflix series.

Resting in the Breath: Healing Practice for Mind and Body
2018-05-06 16:00 - 17:30 | Edwards Church of Northampton, 297 Main St., Northampton, MA, 01060, United States
Spring 2018 MINDFULNESS
Resting in the Breath: Healing Practice for Mind and Body
MAY 6, 2018
4:00 to 5:30 p.m.
Our daily lives are made up of times of being awake and of times of being asleep, but what about resting? In our busy lives, do we know how to rest? And further, even after sleeping, why is it that sometimes we do not feel rested?
You are invited to join our mindfulness group this spring as we explore “resting in the breath,” a mindfulness practice that teaches us how to breathe with awareness, how to calm our body and mind, and how to rest there. This is a beautiful, ancient, and practical practice that can guide sitting or walking meditation, and it can also offer us rest in moments throughout the day or night.
This mindfulness group is open to those who are experienced in meditation as well as to those who are complete beginners. The group welcomes youth who are in sixth grade and above as well as adults of all ages. We will meet in the chancel area of Edwards Church. Linda Vincent will be facilitating.
If you are interested, please contact Linda Vincent or Deb Moore.

The April 20 concert will feature Vanessa Willis and her band playing original songs from their upcoming album entitled “The Worship Room.” Gospel-inspired songs are interspersed with personal reflections and witness about her religious convictions.

Please mark your calendars for April 20 for this exciting and inspiring event.

Heartsaver AED CPR
2017-02-18 09:00 - 12:00 | Edwards Church of Northampton, 297 Main St., Northampton, MA, 01060, United States
American Heart Association

Heartsaver AED CPR

Saturday, February 18th 9:00 am Edwards Room

Anyone can learn CPR – and everyone should! Sadly, 70 percent of Americans may feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed. This alarming statistic could hit close to home, because home is exactly where 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur. Put very simply: The life you save with CPR is mostly likely to be someone you know and care about.
This lifesaving course will teach you the basic skills you will need in an emergency. It is designed for anyone with limited or no medical training – perfect for parents, grandparents, and other lay rescuers – just like YOU! All ages from 10 to 100 are welcome to attend.
We cover CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) use for adults and children, CPR for infants, as well as how to relieve choking in all ages. We will go over different types of CPR barriers available for use outside of a clinical setting.
Dress comfortably as we do many sets of compressions on the floor (or on a table if needed).
Preregistration is required – Kim Webb 413-539-2155 kimelawebb@hotmail.com
Class is FREE.
No certification is provided – ask Kim for information if you need a certification card.

All practice materials and handouts included*.

*Books and masks are available for purchase at cost.
