A Grateful Hour
Gratitude is a muscle that can be strengthened with practice... so let's practice! This is a sampler of what's to come over the next 30-days.
Why? Practice gratitude with new friends.
The idea of "gratitude" is everywhere. Oven mitts, journals, prayers, poems, and so on. The word is everywhere, but what does it actually look like when put into practice?
Let's give it a try! This opening event is a sampler of events to come and an opportunity to find out if 30 grateful gatherings is for you. This event repeats on Nov 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Please only sign up once to save room for others.

We will meet outside regardless of weather, so please dress appropriately. There are benches, but you may prefer to bring your own camping chair.
Park in the grass parking lot and we'll walk down together. Our actual event space may change depending on time of day, weather, etc.
Enter through the front doors. Follow the signs to the fellowship hall in the back.
You can park in our driveway or in front of any of our next door neighbors' yards. Please be careful not to block any driveways.
