Recurring Event Intention Toward Prayer

Intention Toward Prayer

Oasis Center 1031 South Euclid Avenue, Sarasota, FL

It is me standing in the need of prayer
You are invited to pay attention to and set an intention toward prayer.  Tuesdays in February (7, 14, 21, and 28) at 1 pm in the Oasis Center and zoom, there is an opportunity to both be in prayer and talk about prayer.  The sessions will be recorded, posted to YouTube and Facebook so you can watch when convenient.  In this month, as we celebrate Valentines Day, the gift of God’s love sweeter than chocolate, more abundant that those heart-shaped hard candies, and reminder each of us that you are named and known by God as “Beloved”.  Please contact Pastor Wes for the Zoom link.

Sacred Conversations on Race

ZOOM
WEDNESDAYS AT 3 PM ON ZOOM

Each week we gather for a holy dialogue on issues related to the realities of racism in our country, community and church. We are blessed as a congregation with members (White, African-American, men, women, all sexual orientations) who are committed to the on-going work for justice. During our weekly gatherings, we raise awareness around issues, build trusting relationships, and commit to loving action. There is always space at the table for you to join us for this sacred conversation.

Contact Pastor Wes for more information and for the Zoom link.

Second Thursday of the Month at Noon

Ready Readers is a book discussion group that meets on the second Thursday of every month at noon in the Oasis Center. The books we read are chosen from a yearly list provided by the Florida UCC Women and selected by the chair of the organization’s Reading for Renewal. Our group reads the list and descriptions of approximately 30 books and votes on the ones we would like to read for the following year. Current lists of possible selections are available in the Syster Hall library as are several present and previously selected books.

Monthly selections are posted in the newsletter and the midweek message. We welcome and encourage the participation and input of new members even if you are not able to attend every meeting.
