"Oneness Is Not Sameness", Rev. Tara Steele, Wednesday, February 15, 2017, 7 pm


Infinite possibilities, unlimited variety, beyond our wildest imaginings...that's The Thing Itself.  In Its infinite nature, there are no duplicates, each divine expression is unique, perfect, and One -- a bit mind boggling.  This Wednesday, we'll explore ways to experience this Oneness with chant, prayer, contemplation. The evening service begins at 7 pm.  Rev. Tara looks forward to welcoming you.
