"Tree of Hope" Community Initiative
We invite you to visit the "Tree of Hope" on our front lawn, a place to seek comfort and share messages of loving kindness. Chatham resident Vangie Collins and several volunteers initiated the idea for this dedicated community space. The community can leave tokens and expressions of hope including kindness rocks, ornaments, or heartfelt thoughts and prayers. The newly decorated tree was introduced with messages of hope. Thank you to all who participated.
Join Us on Saturday, September 21st, 9:30 AM
To all local and visiting friends from Chatham & surrounding towns: On Saturday, September 21st at 9:30 AM, we will gather at the Tree of Hope on the side lawn of the UU Meeting House, Chatham. You'll be invited to share an uplifting poem or a few words of encouragement. It is a simple opportunity to just be present in the moment. It is a chance to see old friends and make a new one. Stay as long or as short as you wish. I'll be bringing a lawn chair
Bring your cup of coffee, tea, etc. Mark your calendars. From Vangie Collins

"Breathe with Joan"
Joan Konopka taught so many of us to slow down and savor the moment through meditation. We celebrate her life, her memory, and her spirit within us. Enjoy this 3-minute meditation practice which one of her students and friends, Dana McCoy, captured and shared with us. Click here.
