Touchstones

Tuesdays, 12:30 -2PM Palmer room

Touchstones is a weekly intergenerational women's group which considers topics related to wellness and spirituality. During Advent and Lent we usually turn our focus to devotional time and seasonal reflection. Past themes have included: The Transformational Nature of Energy, Knowing Me, Knowing God-Discover Who You are, The Many Faces of God-A Search for Understanding through Interfaith Conversations, and Forgiveness.

All women of the local community are welcome to drop in and join us as often as they wish. If you are unable to attend but would like weekly highlights and references, contact touchstones@fcc-winchester.org
