9:30 a.m.

Wednesday Mornings
in The Gathering Room

We take turns coming up with a topic that deals with our lives and our faith.  Sometimes just one word, like friendship, creates ideas to share.  We don't prepare coffee or bake, we just arrive and converse.  We meet from 9:30 am until 10:30 am every Wednesday.  All are welcome.

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.

Amen

-Reinhold Niebuhr
