The contemplative service creates time and space to experience God in a different way in worship.

It may incorporate elements of silence, reflective prayer, music, and/or meditation; however, communion will be served each week. Is it your first time visiting us? Find out where to park and more about your arrival here.

Plowshares Book Club: “Raising Lazarus”

Fellowship Hall Overflow

Join our book club, Plowshares, for its fall book read: "Raising Lazarus." "Distilling this massive, unprecedented national health crisis down to its character-driven emotional core as only she can, Beth Macy takes us into the country’s hardest hit places to witness the devastating personal costs that one-third of America's families are now being forced to shoulder. Here, we meet the ordinary people fighting for the least of us with the fewest resources, from harm reductionists risking arrest to bring lifesaving care to the homeless and addicted to the activists and bereaved families pushing to hold Purdue and the Sackler family accountable. These heroes come from all walks of life; what they have in common is an up-close and personal understanding of addiction that refuses to stigmatize—and therefore abandon—people who use drugs, as big pharma execs and many politicians are all too ready to do. "Like the treatment innovators she profiles, Beth Macy meets the opioid crisis where it is—not where we think it should be or wish it was. Bearing witness with clear eyes, intrepid curiosity, and unfailing empathy, she brings us the crucial next installment in the story of the defining disaster of our era, one that touches every […]

The In-Between: Walking Our Loved Ones Home

The Home of Joan Wright 2009 Nolen Park Lane, Charlotte, NC, United States

Snacks and beverages will be provided. Please bring your own lunch to enjoy! Email Sarah to RSVP at sarah.shifflet@gmail.com. As our lives evolve, the natural process of death and dying can be a place of fear or peace. Many of us are active caregivers at various stages along the journey of “walking each other home.”  If you are a caregiver or interested in this topic, join us for a guided discussion on the experiences of hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos. In her NYT Bestseller "The In-Between," Vlahas' stories provide hope, comfort, and understanding as we care for parents, spouses, children, and friends in the final stages of life. The session will also foster personal reflection, self-awareness, and storytelling about the caregiver role, regardless of where you and your loved one are in the journey. While not required, you are invited to listen to the podcast "A conversation on life, death and 'The In-Between' on Charlotte Talks with Mike Collins" or read "The In-Between" ahead of time. Joan Wright will facilitate our conversation. As an MSW in clinical social work, Joan began her career learning to understand “dying well and dying within a community of loving people.” Her HR, executive coaching, and […]
