Taize Service

Our Taize Service brings in the ancient traditions of Taizé–meditation, chanting  and prayer–and combines these with New Thought, contemporary, and Ancient Wisdom teachings and readings.

Event Series One Warm Coat Donation Event

One Warm Coat Donation Event

GGCSL is embarking on a community loving project. We’re joining in participation with One Warm Coat (https://www.onewarmcoat.org/) by collecting coats for adults and children at our Sunday Celebrations on October 1, 8, and 15. Gently worn coats should be clean and wearable, with no stains and no holes. New coats can also be donated.

Sacred Grieving Workshop

Sometimes losses come in clusters and we begin to feel numb and overwhelmed. At other times one loss can plunge us into sadness and grief. Because we recognize the power of sacred grieving and its healing power, Lesley Gianetti and Lori Greer, two of our prayer practitioners are offering a workshop for all those experiencing a sense of loss and grieving

Leadership Council Meeting

Our Leadership Council (Board) is a group of elected members of GGCSL, plus the minister. They meet monthly to transact the business of the Center: setting policies and procedures, following up on events, classes, and outreach, and reporting on various aspects of Center activities to the whole group. These meetings are open for GGCSL members to observe when approval is given by the President of the Council for attendance or to be placed on the meeting agenda for a given month.

Guided Meditation Service

Sometimes called guided imagery, with guided meditation you form mental images of places or situations that support relaxation and receptivity. You will use a variety of senses like sights, sounds and textures.
