WEEKLY GREETINGS & NEWS ABOUT THIS WEEK’S PODCAST & SUNDAY MORNING, MINDFUL MEDITATION SERVICE — 5th DECEMBER 2020
Greetings. This week’s podcast is available at the following links:
How Nietzsche helps us better prepare to celebrate Advent & Christmas
An introductory exploration of how Nietzsche thinks “free spirits” are made and how becoming a free spirit might gift us with a meaningful way still to celebrate Advent and Christmas after the death of our old conceptions of God, the divine and the sacred.

And, lastly, as always if, on reading this you decide you would like to join us on Sunday morning for the service of mindful meditation and time of conversation following and do not have the necessary Zoom link then please contact our Church Secretary, Brendan Boyle, via the contact page of our website. Just look through the dropdown tabs to find “Secretary”:
Please log in between 9.45 and 10am. The meditation starts at 10am sharp, and finishes about 10.50. There will then be a short break to allow you to stretch your legs, compose your thoughts, or put the kettle on. The ‘Time for Conversation’ will start about 11am, and if you aren’t taking part in the meditation, feel free to sign in during the break for the conversation.
To get the most from the meditation, you will find it helpful to either print out the order of service, or display it in a second window. Here is the link:

With love and best wishes as always,
Andrew
