  • Artsy Group Meetup

    Artsy Group Meetup
    Chapel or Downstairs Area

    Come join our creative collective that meets every second Saturday. If you are a little artsy? Or you just like art. It doesn't matter if you have never been creative—come anyway. It has been proven that participating in the arts in any form will rewire your brain to help you become less stressed as well as healthier and happier. This is an informal gathering for a few hours on a Saturday where folks can work on any sort of "artsy" project they'd like. Some months there will be a theme, which will be explained in the "Chat" for this group. BYO supplies (or use some of the church's supply). You may also bring a snack for yourself or anything to share. Supervised children are welcome. We will meet in the Chapel or Teen Room (leader will post a note if it's down in the Teen Room). If you're ready to get into a flow state while connecting with others, this Artsy Group is for you! RSVP

  • Drop-In Self-Awareness

    Drop-In Self-Awareness
    Room 209

    When we observe ourselves feeling and reacting from unsettling emotions like anger, sadness, and fear, the self awareness practice helps us investigate so we can release stories and patterns that no longer serve our wellbeing and so we can embrace ourselves and others with more compassion and grace. If you want to learn more about the self awareness practice, please drop in and observe 2 members of the Common Thread Community do this practice together. No prior knowledge or experience is required and everyone is invited and welcome. We will meet in Room 209. Feel free to bring your lunch/snack if desired. Get more information about self awareness here

  • ONE Wake September Action for Affordable Housing

    Catholic Community of Saint Francis of Assisi

    ONE Wake's Homeownership to Equity Campaign takes a step forward in this assembly as we feature future homeowners and residents seeking their place among us as our neighbors. Join us as we hear their stories; listen as we present solutions to elected officials from Raleigh and throughout Wake County. We cannot continue to operate in the same systems, hoping that developers will care enough to save a small portion of property for those who want to live and work here. Housing at all affordability levels is an investment in a thriving civil society. People are not thriving when they are spending more than 30% of their wages on housing, and that number is above 1/4 of all households in Wake County - it is not going down. Every institution is expected to turn out in strength. Our goal is to match—and exceed—the energy and turnout of last July’s action. RSVP on ONE Wake site here
