Edwards Church of Northampton

Mindfulness in Relationship Series
2017-01-22 16:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Edwards Church of Northampton, 297 Main St., Northampton, MA, 01060, United States
Please join us as we explore our relational lives from the perspective of mindfulness. We will consider what it would be like to see ourselves and others more deeply and to be able to bring increasing compassion to what we find. In discussing the tender and powerful topic of relationships, we will think together of family, friends, neighbors, strangers, and even those that (in our oh-so-human-way) we find challenging, frustrating, and hurtful.
Mindfulness offers us a path toward wholesome relationships. It speaks to our “longing to find the holy in ourselves and others,” as expressed in our vision statement.
January 22: Bringing mindfulness into the relationship we have with ourselves
February 26: Bringing mindfulness into our relationships with others
March 26: Bringing mindfulness into our relationship with the God

POST-ELECTION PRAYER VIGIL
2016-11-09 18:00 - 18:30 | Edwards Church of Northampton, 297 Main St., Northampton, MA, 01060, United States
No matter who wins which contest, our country will need a way to “increase the peace.” We cannot yet tell what forms that will take or what might be required of us to help it happen, but if the conduct of the election proves anything, it may be that we need help to make positive change. Therefore, on Wednesday at 6:00 PM in our sanctuary, we will hold a half hour Post-Election Prayer Vigil, jointly planned by ministers of Edwards Church, First Churches and The Unitarian Society of Northampton. This will not be a celebration or a post-mortem, but a time of reflection and, we intend, gathering hope.
