We are excited to be starting the 2024– 25 edition of the simple course Wednesday, October 2. Please arrive at the Avondale church or at the zoom waiting room a few minutes before 9 A.M. New participants may join the simple course until Christmas which is the absolute cut off. Because the material builds in previous sessions the later you join the more you will be missing and some concepts may be difficult for you to understand.

One of the participants shared that there is a weekly zoom guided meditation group that runs Thursdays from 8 to 9 pm. If you're interested email Janie at jvanessen@hotmail.com
