Saturday, September 25

• 10:00 AM  |  "Forgive for Good"
• The first big event focused on our theme of "Love, Compassion and the Art of Forgiveness" will begin on Saturday, September 25th at 10:00am, as we welcome noted author, professor and researcher, Dr. Frederic Luskin of Stanford University.
• This extraordinary workshop entitled "Forgive for Good" presents the forgiveness training methodology that has been validated through six successful research studies conducted through the Stanford Forgiveness Projects. Dr. Luskin's research demonstrates that learning forgiveness lessens the physical and emotional toll of stress, decreases hurt, anger, depression and blood pressure.

Sunday, September 26

• 11:00 AM  |  Stories of Compassion from Ground Zero
• We continue exploring this theme on Sunday, September 26, as we welcome Rev. Lyndon Harris, Executive Director of Garden of Forgiveness, to the pulpit during our morning worship.
• Rev. Harris was the priest in charge of the relief ministries at Ground Zero offered through Saint Paul's Chapel after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Fueled by his frontline involvement of that tragedy, he travels the country speaking about the transformative experiences of Saint Paul's Chapel.
• Following our service, we will share lunch and a Q&A session with Rev. Harris.
