Choose Life: the power of intention

With Rev. Stephen Shick

 

I have put before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life—that you and your offspring shall live. Deuteronomy 30:19
 
These words have guided Jews and Christians for thousands of years. This encouragement to affirm life, regardless of the circumstance, is foundational for many other religious traditions. Sunday, we’ll explore how the spiritual practices of mindfulness, generosity, and compassion can increase your ability to live intentionally every moment of your life.
 
All are welcome to join us following the service for conversation and light refreshments in Union Hall.
