Spiritual Touchstones is a new service format at Eastrose featured on the fourth Sunday of every month. It’s a quieter, more intimate gathering. It includes opening words, chalice lighting, a reading, and a Story for All Ages. The congregation will then form into three groups and meet in different rooms to discuss several questions lead by facilitator-members. We rejoin in the chapel to pass the basket, sing our gratitude song, extinguish the chalice, and say the benediction. Come join in discussions with others of this Spiritual Touchstone on Justice — Transformation.
Rev. Suzie Matranga-Watson preaching with Bie. T., Patty W., and Keene C. facilitating. A Story for All Ages from Tara T.
