Living “The Way of Love: Self-Understanding” – an Enneagram Workshop
Led by Emily Pelkowski on Sunday, November 3; 11:30 a.m. to
1:00 p.m.
“The Enneagram is an ancient, unique, in-depth tool used for self-discovery. It gives language around the age-old question: “Why do I do the things I do?” It helps you to wake up to your life and better understand who you are, those around you, and the world. In this introductory workshop, you'll learn more about what the Enneagram is, an overview of each number, and how to incorporate this tool into your life to better understand your relationships and yourself."
Part of working as a faith community is understanding ourselves. This is an opportunity for us to learn more about ourselves, learn about others and find better ways of living and loving and shining God's love in our world! Please take the enneagram test online:https://assessment.yourenneagramcoach.com/ to learn your number before attending the workshop. The workshop is free! Some resources are: Sacred Enneagram and Wisdom of the Enneagram; we will have a copy of both books in our church library.
Please click here to register for the workshop and lunch.
Living “The Way of Love: Through “Healing and Wholeness”
Clergy led, this is a three-week grief group on Wednesday evenings November 7, 14, 21. Click here to register.

 Prayer for Daily Life
Homework Prayer
The homework I should do, I do not do, while all those things that are more fun and that I should not do, I do. So I ask some help, dear God, from you to do now, and do well, what I should do and then be free for all I’d rather do.
