What exactly is Earth Spirituality or Eco-Spirituality?
Come and see. Share input and reflection that will ground you in a wholistic awareness of the Divine. Explore the ways that our creation stories shape us and our attitudes toward the world. Rediscover a deep, primal understanding of who you are in relation to God and to God’s creation. See how your understanding of the Universe impacts the choices you make in your daily life.
This retreat includes teaching, practical application, small group work and time for private reflection. You are invited to worship with us on Sunday, April 18. Sister Sharon Zayac will preach at both services and will be available for dialogue between services.

Adult Programs
Part of our mission at New Song is to seek God as well as create community. One of the best ways to do this is to join one of our adult programs. To reserve a spot in one or more of these groups, you may sign up at the church on Sunday mornings or e-mail the church at newsong@kc.rr.com. See below for our summer/fall offerings:
Small Groups
Women's Spirituality: A Faith Sharing Group - Meeting regularly the fourth Thursday of each month at the church from 6:30-8:00 PM. All are welcome. This is an inter-faith confidential group where women with different faith backgrounds can share their questions of faith and their faith stories. Questions? Contact Kristin Dow at: kristin@newsongkc.org
Dinner for Six Plus groups are currently meeting. Consider joining a new group of friends in one of these groups. New groups are now forming! This is a great way to meet other folks in the New Song community in an informal way. Groups will gather together monthly for the next several months to enjoy a meal and fellowship together!
Perspectives
Beginning July 2009, New Song will be sponsoring speakers presenting material on a variety of topics Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. See upcoming schedule
