The practice of sitting silently is not unique to any religion or culture. It is a custom that helps people feel more relaxed and connected.
You are invited to attend a short (20 minute) period of silence in the sanctuary of the Greensboro United Church of Christ, followed by a simple meal of homemade soup, along with bread from Broadfork Farm, to enjoy with others or take home. Served in Fellowship Hall at no cost.
The silence will be unprogrammed. You can bring your own practice (prayer, meditation) to this time of sharing silence. If you do not commonly have such a practice, some simple options will be available for you to try.
When: Five Tuesdays at 5 PM January 17 through February 14
Silence: 5:00 – 5:20 in the sanctuary
Soup: 5:30 – 6:00 in Fellowship Hall (eat in or take out)
Attendance at either or both events is totally up to you!
