Carrie Murray, personal trainer, is teaching Tai Chi Gung classes on Wednesdays at noon in the parish hall. The class usually runs for 45 minutes to an hour. It will include standing Chi Gung exercises, but chairs will be provided if needed. Many of the exercises can be modified when sitting. This practice is recommended for adults over the age of 25 or so.

The Tai Chi Gung is a simple and unique practice to equilibrium and health that was developed by LaoTzu. Its benefits vary depending on what you are looking to achieve. The exercises may enhance your physical fitness by:

• Improving flexibility and joint health;
• Enhancing cardiovascular function; and
• Strengthening the immune system.

They can also calm you, provide a deeper level of inner peace and cultivate more mindfulness. Although this practice offers many of the same benefits as the Tai Chi taught by the Tai Chi Society in Knoxville, it is unique in many ways. Please join the class to learn more about it and see if it is right for you! A suggested donation of $10 per class will go to Carrie; she also does Venmo.

We invite all to the 8:30 am in-person Eucharist. This service will also be shared via Facebook Live.

We may think of prayer as thoughts or feelings expressed in words. But this is only one expression. In the Christian tradition, contemplative prayer is the opening of mind and heart to God, beyond thoughts, words, and emotions."  Thomas Keating

Advent can often be a time when the secular world erupts into busy-ness and distraction. Here is a chance to enter into the sacred aspects of this season before Christmas. Centering prayer is an updated method of prayer that is rooted in the contemplative tradition preserved by monastic traditions throughout history. Come join Daniel Roop as he introduces centering prayer, the method, the theology and the history.
