Join us for the second of our monthly prayer services to help us choose the energy of “YES” in these troubled times. This month we meditate upon the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We at The Sophia Center plan to focus each month on a different concern by creating a service that one might call a “holy hour” that will call us to reflect on a core issue, share our willingness to meet the issue head on, and offer our prayer and silence for the eradication of its challenge and the restoration of hope.
All are welcome. - Saturday, January 25, 9:00 a.m. - noon - Welcoming Calmness: A Quiet Saturday Morning with Mary Pat Hyland, Sophia House, 719 West Main Street, Endicott, NY.

In Learning to Walk in the Dark, author Barbara Brown Taylor asks us to put aside our fears and anxieties and to explore all that God has to teach us “in the dark.” She argues that through darkness we find courage, we understand the world in new ways, and we feel God’s presence around us, guiding us through things seen and unseen. Often, it is while we are in the dark that we grow the most. With her characteristic charm and literary wisdom, Taylor is our guide through a spirituality of the nighttime, teaching us how to find our footing in times of uncertainty and giving us strength and hope to face all of life’s challenging moments. (The book is available on Amazon.com and BN.com; if possible, please get the book and read the Introduction and Chapter 1 before the first meeting.)
