KatherineFeistOctober 1, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "A Service for Peace and Unity”

Katherine Feist will lead the Fellowship in this simple service where we will find that our hearts and minds can shift to a wider perspective to a place of peace and unity. 

“Lighting a candle, joining in song, and listening to readings from some of the world’s spiritual traditions remind us of the similarities in the messages. This allows us to tune in to our own feelings, qualities and experiences of peace and unity,” Feist said.

She added, “What is amazing to me is that when we tune together to the same goals, this informs our being, and we carry this experience out into our world. Come and join us to spread peace and unity to Silver City and our world.”
