The popular and thought provoking Sunday discussion group meets each Sunday morning, before Sunday Service, at 9:30 AM in the Common Room. All are invited to join the discussion. See topics below.

At our Fellowship we strive to deepen our connections to one another and the earth as we offer compassionate service to each other, our community, and the earth. There are many ways we can grow our connections outward so that we become stronger as individuals and as a caring community. To facilitate weaving our web of relationships ever stronger and broader, our congregation offers Circles of Life:

• Circles invigorate affinity, care, and small groups and build our care program.
• Allow us to keep track of life experiences and needs of one another
• Offer the gift of being in relationship with one another
• Offer the gift of presence and deep listening to the other
• Facilitate communication throughout the congregation as one Circle of Life can let others know what is going on for their people and what care they may need.
• We can also see who we are as a group — what are our concerns as a community?
• Provide a context for learning the arts of caring — listening, nonviolent communication, being a healing presence in times of grief and loss.

Do you meditate?
Do you want to meditate?…
If you can't make it to the Friday night Sangha?
If you would like an additional time to 'sit'?
Or if you just want a time to spend some...“Present moments, Wonderful moments” with others?

Come join Azalea Sangha (Sangha: A family; a community that lives or practices, in harmony and awareness.) This Sangha will follow in the traditions of Thich Nhat Hanh, (Thay for teacher, pronounced ‘tie’ as in pie) a Zen Master who teaches Engaged Buddhism through mindfulness in our daily lives.

No need to be Buddhist! No knowledge of meditation required! This group is for beginners & long time 'sitters' alike, from this or other traditions.
