Embracing Self-Compassion: Developing Resilience in Challenging Times

Suzanna McCarthy

Self-Care is important, but Self-Compassion goes deeper. This presentation explores practical ways to quiet the inner critic, calm the nervous system, and build resilience. Participants will leave with simple practices to meet life's challenges with greater kindness, balance, and hope.

Worship Services

Services are held in the Cascade View Room at the Carl Gipson Center. Our Worship Services are led by either our minister, a visiting minister, or a member of the congregation.

All are invited to join in the experience either online or in-person. Some services might be a bit too experimental to get the full experience when attending online, but we'll still try and make sure our online attendees are included as best we can.

Stay up to date on all the changes and resources by subscribing to our weekly update (email list) using the form at the bottom of this page.

What about youth?

We have a rich and inclusive Religious Exploration program here at Evergreen! All families start together in the Sanctuary at 10:30am for the start of the service.

After the Story segment of the service, there will be an active transition where they move out to class. Once in class, we share in lighting the chalice and sharing Joys & Sorrows, and then begin our regular program. Children participating in RE classes need to be registered.

Children will be "released" at approximately 11:30 (usually the end of service). Children and Youth are always welcome to stay in the service with their family if they prefer! Learn more about RE here.

How to Get Here
