Our Favorite Things Service June 25th in Waterville, Maine

Blog, Promotions for Friends and Colleagues, Twinkle's Musings, Worship Services,

Join Us this Sunday, June 25th ! in person + online 10:00AM Eastern.
69 Silver Street, Waterville, Maine 
Theme: “Our Favorite Things”
This service will explore what we like most about our lives and our communities, about what our spiritual communities offer to us, and also about the sources of our Faith.

We will come to understand why the things in our lives that matter to us, matter to us.

And, we will look at examples in psychology, history, symbolism and synchronicity that help explain why humans assign value and honor with ritual that which is most important to us, personally and in the groups we are part of.
