  • Wednesdays – Contemplative Services which include readings, prayer, blessing or meditation, music. Video and/or audio formats.
  • Sundays – Twinkle offers a spiritual/worship message on Sundays: live worship services and/or contemplative service replays.
  • Monthly – Women’s Minerva Potluck Gathering + Ritual (Register for this event here: TwinkleManning@gmail.com)
