A note from Kathy Mrzywka and the Hospitality Team
In the spirit of hospitality, we ask that you consider wearing your name tags on Sundays, especially during coffee hour. If for any reason you are unable to return your name tag to the bulletin board on the first floor, a basket is available in Fellowship Hall. Someone will return the tags to the board for the following Sunday. Thank you!

Self Compassion Workshop
Many people struggle with being hard on themselves, especially if they grew up in conservative religious or authoritarian environments. Learning about self-compassion can help them become more resilient, improve their relationships and be kinder to themselves and others. Participants at this workshop will learn about what self compassion is (and what it's not) and gain practical tools for practicing it. The workshop will be led by Susanna Guarino, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a therapist in private practice in Rochester who specializes in working with individuals and couples with religious trauma. Join us on June 5th at 7PM at MMC and on Zoom.
