The intent is to engage everyone in the community-building and learning that this approach offers and make it easier for other groups to schedule events without competing programs. \nWorship Service 11:00 – 11:45 am\nJanuary’s meaning making theme is  “Awakening wonder: how can mystery and wonder renew our spirits? \nExploration Groups 12:15 – 1:30 pm\nThe service will be followed by a light lunch and then Exploration Groups are open to interested folks of all ages. This month’s groups are: \n\nsomething that gets us thinking\nsomething that gets us creating\nsomething that gets us moving

SUMMARY:Listening Circle on the State of the World
DESCRIPTION:Led by the Healthy Relations Team\nWe live in both beautiful and bewildering times\, and many of us feel the need to come together to try to make sense of it all. \nAfter this Sunday’s service\, there will be a lunch in Hewett Hall\, so please join us after that at 12:45pm in the Fireside Room\, when the Healthy Relations Team will facilitate a listening circle. We can be silent\, or share the complex feelings we’re carrying about global conflicts\, climate change\, and the state of democracy in the world. \nThis will be an opportunity to be heard about how things are weighing on your heart. \nFor the mutually caring atmosphere we would like to hold in the room\, we request you arrive by 12:45 pm\, after which the doors will be closed. \nIf you are unable to join in person and feel you would benefit from joining a listening circle online\, please let us know at healthyrelations [@] vanu.ca.
