OnGoing Opportunities

Join us for the Spring session of Morning Mindfulness starting May 5 and begin your Tuesdays with Rev. Mia on Instagram Live @miashellymac!

This is an opportunity to breathe, to be in virtual community, and to hear a short lesson from Pastor Mia. Can't wake up by 7am? No worries! Pastor Mia leaves the recording up for 24 hours. Catch it at noon. Catch it at night. And be sure to share if something inspires you.
