But you can always visit this page for an up-to-date listing
of all the upcoming events, or for a view of the Month
at a Glance, just visit the Calendar

| Prayer and Meditation Garden |

anytime
A peaceful and serene setting awaits you in our new Meditation Garden. Enter and reflect on the beauty of God's gifts to us and feel His presence.
The garden is a continuous work in progress. Come see for yourself. As you enter the church parking lot, look to the rear and to the north. You will see that paths have been laid, olive trees planted, benches strategically placed, and a fence erected. Cape Honeysuckle have been planted at the fence and will soon begin their climb.
This garden has long been a dream of parishioner Todd Hailstone, and with the help of Joe & Karen Benvenuto, Diane Martinez and others from the church and many generous donations, his dream is being fulfilled.
This project is continuarlly going forward. If you have "caught our vision" and wish to become a part of this wonderful project, please make your checks payable to TUMC and mark it "Meditation Garden"

| Centering Prayer |

Meets fourth Monday of each month from 6 - 7 p.m.

Mother Teresa was asked once by an interviewer: "When you pray, what do you say to God?" She said, "I don't talk, I listen." The interviewer then asked: "What does God say to you?" Mother Teresa replied, "He doesn't talk. He listens."
This quotation captures the essence of Centering Prayer (Christian Meditation or Contemplative Prayer). It is a mutual resting in awareness, pure relationship with God. It is an experiential method for enhancing your spirituality.
Join us the fourth Monday of each month at 6 p.m. in Celebration Hall.
