Forest Bathing

Are you stressed?  Would a good meditation or walk in the woods help you with serenity?  How about combining these in Forest Bathing?  Join with other women and let a trained Forest therapy guide lead you through her wooded acres in a guided experience, immersing yourself in the natural world, connecting with some inner peace. Ellen has been doing forest therapy for years and will provide it as a service to us.

This will be on a gentle trail, moving slowly, some sitting, a little standing meditation, lots of nature. An easy event on the body.

We hope you join us on Saturday afternoon, May 24th for this about 2-hour experience.  The location is near the Cincinnati Nature Center - the address will be sent to those who RSVP. S

Many of us remember the words to the children’s rhyme: “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Words have the power to curse, but they also have the power to bless. Join Sherry Schumann during the Sunday school hour as she discusses the tradition of blessing. In our time together, we will discuss the importance of the spoken blessing; learn how to bless our adult children and grandchildren; and discover practical ways to make this tradition a part of our family culture. 

 

Sherry Schumann grew up in Loveland, OH and attended Prince of Peace and is now the director of the Christian Grandparenting Network. Learn more at popluther.org/grandparents.

POP Corks - Spring Fling - April 12th, 2025

Everyone is welcome to Paula Osorio’s home on Saturday, April 12th at 7 pm for a tasting of wine, some good snacks and desserts and wonderful face to face conversation. 

POP Corks provides an opportunity for those over 21 to meet and get to know other church members, who perhaps attend a different worship service, in a relaxed setting. Each person/couple brings a bottle of wine based on the theme (usually in the $10-20 range) to taste and an appetizer or dessert to share. Not a fan of wine?...come anyway! The goal is fellowship…feel free to bring another beverage of choice.

Since we have officially moved into the Spring season, please bring a bottle of wine that you either enjoy in the Spring or that the name/label reminds you of Spring.
