Special Program
Practicing Presence with Mindfulness
led by Meredith McEver
Feeling the presence of God is often as much about being in the present moment as it is about recognizing the presence of Holy. For some of us, much of our day is spent either worrying about the past or thinking about the future, rather than being present in the here and now. Join us for an hour of various mindfulness meditations that show us what it feels like to be in this moment and notice the difference that practicing the presence can make in your life.
