SUMMARY:The Five-Element Model: Nature's Key to a Balanced Life
DESCRIPTION:Sign up HERE. \nDo you have big ideas but struggle to finish them? \nDo you spiral into worry when life gets heavy\, or notice health issues always hitting the same spot? \n\nThe Five-Element model (Wood\, Fire\, Earth\, Metal\, and Water) is more than an ancient tradition—it is a blueprint for your internal ecosystem. Just as the seasons shift\, our energy moves through cycles of rest\, initiation\, and productivity. When one “internal season” is blocked\, the whole system feels the friction. \n\nIn this class\, you will: \n\nIdentify Your Archetype: Discover your unique elemental makeup and how it shapes your personality.\nMaster Stress: Learn specific tools to regain emotional balance based on your element.\nHeal Physical Patterns: Address the recurring health tendencies associated with each element.\nExpand Your Range: Learn to tap into the strengths of the elements that feel “out of reach.”.\n\nOptional $10 Lunch – Choose “Yes” on the sign up page.

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday Experience
DESCRIPTION:AN OBSERVANCE & EXPERIENCE OF MAUNDY THURSDAY \nBatavia First Presbyterian & St. James Episcopal Churches \nJoin us as we remember the night of the New Commandment of Jesus through three distinct movements of worship. \n\n THE Meal: Potluck Passover Supper | 5:30 PM We gather for a family-style meal featuring foods likely eaten by Jesus and his disciples:\n\n\nThe Table: Roasted lamb (or beef)\, Mediterranean salads\, beans\, carrots\, olives\, cheese\, dates\, fruits\, and nuts. Please bring a Mediterranean-inspired side dish or fruit to share.\nThe Liturgy: This meal includes the reading of Holy Scripture and the celebration of Holy Communion.\n\n  \n\n THE BETRAYAL: Gethsemane Prayer Garden We transition to St. Michael’s Chapel to enter the Garden. Through the reading of the Gospel\, we sit with Jesus in his final hours of prayer before his arrest. If you would like to add a plant to the garden\, please click here…\n\n  \nIII. THE SHADOWS: Stripping of the Altar We move finally to the nave to witness the Stripping of the Altar. This stark\, ancient tradition prepares our hearts and our space for the solemnity of Good Friday. \n  \nLocation: Hosted at St. James Episcopal Church \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:The Tears of Things: A Lenten Journey of the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Sign up HERE. \nThis Lent\, Batavia First Presbyterian Church invites you to a contemplative four-week study based on Richard Rohr’s profound reflections on “The Tears of Things.” Together\, we will explore the mystery of how God meets us not just in our joys\, but in the heart of our suffering\, fragility\, and the “tragic beauty” of the world. We will learn to see that everything belongs—even the broken pieces—and that our tears are often the very windows through which we glimpse the Divine. Richard Rohr teaches that the “tears of things” are not a sign of God’s absence\, but a doorway into God’s deepest presence.

SUMMARY:From Brokenness to Wholeness
DESCRIPTION:The Vision: The Art of Kintsugi \nIn the Japanese art of Kintsugi\, broken pottery is not discarded. Instead\, the fragments are painstakingly joined back together with gold. The result is a vessel more beautiful\, more resilient\, and more valuable than the original—not despite its cracks\, but because of them. \nOur world\, our country\, and our own hearts  feel right now like those shattered pieces. We see the fractures of division\, the dust of grief\, and the sharp edges of injustice. But we are not meant to stay broken. Join us as we “turn aside” from the noise of the world to stand on Holy Ground. Together\, we will name the broken pieces and call forth the “gold” of compassion and grace to bind us back together. \n\nThe Evening Includes: \n\nSoulful Music & Reflective Poetry\nA Sacred Candle lighting Ceremony\nThe Naming of the Fragments: A time to witness the challenges of our world.\nThe Call to Wholeness: A community commitment to peace and mending.\n\n\nWho is Invited? \nEveryone.
