Intergenerational Sunday is a time for us all to appreciate what folks of every age have to offer and receive in our community, and we are doing this so that our youth know from experience what a healthy spiritual community looks like when they are old enough to seek one out for themselves. The service will be kid AND adult friendly, and hopefully nurture the inner child in us all. No Sunday School downstairs on April 28—let's learn, practice, share, and love together.

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.
