Monday Meditation
We continue with Tessa Watt's Mindfulness. This week we suggest that we think about 'Me.' She suggests that by thinking and acting for others (and by forgetting me) we are truly happy. She says, 'Of course we know this, but do we really?' Let's meditate on that thought. May we invite you to join us, yet for another week, to meditate together in spirit (coronavirus pandemic surge continues) at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. If you are not able to join us at that time, please join us whenever you are able.
Namaste
Tuesday Morning Study group
The Tuesday Group meets via Zoom on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 10:00 AM. We are reading Claiming Earth as Common Ground - the Ecological Crisis Through the Lens of Faith, by Andrea Cohen-Keiner. We read our books together, discuss them and share our lives as it relates to them. If you are interested in joining, contact Kathy Oldham at jkoldham@sbcglobal.net. You do not need to have the book to participate.
Craft Group Meet-up - 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 2:00 pm
We have resumed what was originally the knitting group, but those interested in other crafts can also join in. We meet in the Parlor between 2:00 and 4:00 pm every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. You do not need to have a project, just come and chit-chat if you wish. Who knows, you might develop an interest. Looking forward to seeing you. For additional details or questions, contact Norma Shah at norma_shah@yahoo.com No in-person meetings until further notice.
Wednesday Movie Night - February 16 at 7:00 pm.
The movie is Invictus with Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon This movie tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the Captain of South Africa's rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon) to help unite their country. Newly-elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of Apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's rugby team as they make their run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match. Please watch the film on your own and join us for a discussion about it, forgiveness and reconciliation. Email Suzanne at movienightnorthbrae@gmail.com for the Zoom link.

Write for Your Life Writing Group
Write for Your Life is now meeting on Zoom three times a month; on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. and the 3rd Thursday at 3:00 p.m. The aim of this group is spiritual growth and self-understanding. At each meeting, a poem will be offered as a spark to personal writing and self-discovery. Sheltering in Place is an ideal time to reflect on questions we may be asking and/or on how our path may be unfolding. This is an open, drop-in group. The group is a confidential one which has developed a strong ethos of trust. Thursday dates are in flux. during the summer. Email Elizabeth at eohutchins@gmail.com or call (510 527 1405) if you are interested or have questions.
