EVENTS

The Writings have revealed a lifetime developmental pattern of seven states of spiritual growth. These states are linked representatively to well-known patterns in our lives, such as the times of the day, and seasons of the year. Please join us as Rev. Jay Barry offers an overview of Swedenborg's States of Spiritual Growth, a new way to understand a continuous process of spiritual development that begins in infancy and continues to the formation of conscience. The Bring-Your-Own Brunch is in Cairnwood Village's Sunroom, with coffee, tea and water available.

This is the final brunch in our series about three very different Swedenborgian churches, and their approaches to facing their challenges. Page Morahan will interview Gillian Mayer and Helen Kennedy, to gather recollections of their time with the Glendale New Church, some history of the Swedenborgian churches in the Cincinnati area, the current status of the church, and future plans. We will also show some slides from this charming, historic church. The Bring-Your-Own Brunch is in Cairnwood Village's Sunroom with coffee, tea and water available.

Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr.’s “Wayfarers Chapel” in Southern California was designed as a Swedenborgian sacred space, to inspire a spiritual union with nature. Rev. Dan Burchett will join us via Zoom to tell the story of this stunning National Historic Landmark, and the impact that shifting landslides have had on it. The Bring-Your-Own Brunch will be held in Cairnwood Village's Sunroom with coffee and tea available.

The Church of the Holy City is a 167-year old Swedenborgian Church in Wilmington Delaware, which has just been awarded a prestigious and competitive National Fund for Sacred Places challenge grant. The church's pastor, Rev. Shada Sullivan, will talk about the church's history, and how you can help this vibrant and historic New Church match the
challenge grant and continue being a blessing to its community for many years to come. The Bring-Your-Own Brunch is in Cairnwood Village's Sunroom.

Five artists from the Home Church in Bryn Athyn will be displaying their work for the Saturday Brunch in the New Year. Enjoy their art, and hear about their inspiration and creative processes. The Bring-Your-Own Brunch is in Cairnwood Village's dining room this time, with complimentary tea and coffee available.
