Join us for a Deborah's Tree hybrid mini-retreat at the Lord's New Church. We will hear stories of self-discovery, consider Swedenborgian perspectives on the self we want to discover, and get help for the journey through contemplative and creative activities. Breakfast and snacks will be served and admission is $15.00 for in-person attendees who plan to partake in breakfast, $10.00 for in-person attendees who do not plan to join us for breakfast, and free for those attending on Zoom. Registration link is below.

Join us at Cairnwood Village’s Sun Room for an exploration of the different types of faith described in Swedenborg’s Writings, and a discussion of what they mean in our lives today. Brunch is bring-your-own.

Linda Simonetti Odhner shares her experience and reflections about two streams of thought she calls the "Traditional General Church" and the "Alternative General Church." You are invited to contribute your own ideas about what these entities are, how they differ from each other, and how to move forward in spiritual community. Brunch is Bring-Your-Own in Cairnwood Village's Sunroom.

Explore the fascinating life of Dr. Marguerite Beck Block, author of "New Church in the New World," in Rev. Chris Barber's illustrated talk drawn from his ongoing research into her multifaceted story! This is a reprise of a talk given previously at the Swedenborgian Church of North America. Brunch is Bring-Your-Own in Cairnwood Village's Dining Room.

Our congregations are shrinking, churches are closing, "none" is the fastest growing religious affiliation in the USA. Why are we worried? Rev. Roslyn Taylor hopes to decrease your anxiety by showing how Swedenborgian theology predicts these exact trends, and how you might embrace them. Brunch is Bring-Your-Own in Cairnwood Village's Sunroom, with tea and coffee available.
