So be thinking about what sounds like fun to you and join us on April 28 for food and conversation.

Study and discussion of the upcoming Sunday lectionary readings

Emily Kirk, Diocesan Safe Church Coordinator, will be offering an in-person Safe Church, Safe Communities training at Good Shepherd, 9:00am – 1:00pm. The Episcopal Church has developed this new training program which provides training modules on sexual abuse and harassment prevention, how we can make our communities more inclusive, and how we can set healthy boundaries in each of our roles in the church. We strongly encourage each person in an Episcopal community to take this training.

The Essence of Tai Chi Gung

We welcome Carrie Murray, personal trainer, who will teach us the core principles that make Tai Chi Gung practice a unique path to equilibrium and health. This simple practice was developed by LaoTzu as he integrated the human body with the vibrations all around us in creation. He noticed that all of his teachers spent so much time in meditation and out of their bodies, their physical bodies withered away. He surmised that if God created our human bodies and called them good, then they are just as important as our souls and spirits. This practice addresses all three. It is truly the best self- improvement practice on the planet.

Living the resurrection in the midst of the Fall: William Stringfellow’s spirituality and theology

“Yet not I but Christ lives in me.”  So wrote St Paul to the Galatians.   This radical message that the power of the resurrection lives in us was embraced by the early church.  But on the other hand we still live in a world that seems broken and enthralled by the power of violence and fear and death.  On an individual level and on a social level our relationships are hard to sustain and repair.  William Stringfellow was an Episcopal lay theologian who wrote about these issues.  Father Rick Carter helps us explore his thoughts and insights weaving them together with the early church’s experience of the Easter message.
