FORGIVENESS WORKSHOP
August 18, 6:30 pm
Join us for a special one-week exploration of forgiveness using Dr. Everett Worthington’s REACH Forgiveness Workbook. Participants will complete the two-hour workbook on their own before we gather on August 18 to reflect. Then, on Monday, August 18, 6:30 pm, we’ll meet in the DCC library to share reflections and explore next steps in a supportive group setting. A recent study published in BMJ Public Health found that this workbook significantly improved forgiveness, reduced depression and anxiety, and enhanced overall well-being (https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000072).
If you’re interested, please contact Brad Barber to get a copy of the workbook. All are welcome! -

Centering prayer
Are you looking for a small group at DCC?
We offer two weekly Centering Prayer groups. The groups, usually 6-10 people, enjoy two readings from a variety of faith and wisdom traditions, two periods of silent reflection/meditation, followed by a time to share (or not) responses to the readings. Centering Prayer slows us down, nourishes our spirits, and makes it easy to connect with others in sometimes surprising ways. You're invited!
Tuesdays, 9-10 a.m., Fireside Room
Drop in as your schedule allows.Wednesdays, 8-9 a.m., online via Zoom
To join the Zoom group, contact the office at (530)753-2894. -
