Drop in for prayer, quiet, crafting

Did you vote already? If so, you've done what you can do. No amount of doom-scrolling or refreshing your preferred news site will effect the outcome of the election. You can not single-handedly will the votes to be counted any faster by watching cable news. (No. Really.)

We will have the church building open 
Tuesday:  8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Wednesday: from 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. 
Wednesday there is also a KIFA prayer vigil over the noon hour, see details below. 

You're invited to drop in on Tuesday or Wednesday to center yourself, find some peace, pray, journal, keep your hands busy, or whatever else your spirit might need. You can also join the live Zoom room, if coming down to the building isn't an option. 

This is open to the public - no need to be a member of our congregation. 

Possibilities for quieting your inner anxiety monster:

• You can sit and enjoy silence in our sanctuary. 
• We have a box of books that might help guide your time: devotionals, poetry, etc. Or bring your own favorite
• Consider bringing earbuds and music if you'd like to relax in that way. No news podcasts allowed. 🫣
• We will have a prayer journal if you'd like to write a prayer or read prayers that other's have left. 
• We will have an origami station where you can make a peace dove or heart. Or you can make 100 of them if you really need to keep your hands off your phone. Put them around your home to remind you to seek peace in the coming days or give to a friend who might need a little love. Level up: give your peace dove or heart to an enemy and say a prayer for their well-being. 
• We will have a group art project where you're invited to write or draw your answer to this question: "Regardless of the outcome of the election, what goodness will remain constant and present in your life? 
• If you choose to stop in via Zoom, you'll have a silent view of our sanctuary. You can light a candle at home and share any of your prayers in the chat for others to read. 

Please enter our building through the double-doors located near the bike rack on the west side of the building. And please invite a friend who might also need space to find some peace. 

On Wednesday, Nov. 6th we are also encouraging people to join Kansas Interfaith Action from 12-1pm for an interfaith time of prayer, song, and holding space as we celebrate, lament, and reflect prayerfully on the outcomes of this historic election season.

You can attend the KIFA event via Zoom by registering here.

Come down to the church building at Noon on Wednesday and we'll log into the Zoom gathering together.
