Bring your instruments if you have some or share ours if you don’t.
Drumming with others brings with it many benefits. Taking part in a drumming circle attunes us to the invisible energy that exists between us while uniting us in a common purpose. Drumming can be relaxing as well as energizing. It quiets mental chatter and can create a peaceful meditative state.

United Churches Welcomes Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Transgendered People (LGBT)
One way it shows its support is through Rainbow Circles. We get involved in projects and events that support LGBT issues along with other active and welcoming members of the United Churches. Examples include participating at the Capitol Pride last summer, welcoming other LGBT to the Church, and producing an educational display.
If you are interested in learning more about the church or joining the mailing list to be notified of special projects you could get involved in, please call Nancy.
Rainbow Circles recently helped with the Marriage Equality Walk from Vancouver WA on Feb 15
