Meditation Group Meditation is still, and silent, and simple...but not easy. Even now, after 3 years, we struggle with letting go of daily distractions...that is the hard part, letting go. Be still, be silent...listen. Lent is
a perfect time to join in with our practice. Fasting from words and actions for 20 minutes! Friday mornings, 9-10 in the Par-ish Office.

HM annual Tea Luncheon will be held at Prospect Bay Coun-try Club on Sunday, April 29th. Go to haven-ministries.org to purchase tickets. Why not get a group together and enjoy a lovely afternoon. Last year it was a sell out!
