Ongoing Programs:
Bookstore
Our bookstore offers a wealth of information about this
philosophy, current books on faith and personal development, and
CD's and cassette tapes, (of our talks, and others), as well as other items and gifts.
Choir
Professional or "shower singer," if you love to sing, please
speak to Sergio Minervini, our choir director, about joining the
choir. Speak to Sergio on a Sunday when the choir sings,
(usually near the end of the month)), or contact the church office
at (818) 848-4158. It's a great group, and we have a good time
with our music making.
The Labyrinth
This is an ancient walking meditation tool patterned after the
labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France.
Our labyrinth is located in the activities hall and is available
to anyone who is seeking a quiet encounter with Spirit. Labyrinth
hours and instructions on how to make the most of your experience
are printed in a brochure available on the activities table. In the
meantime, visit our Labyrinth page.
