Common Threads
Let's spin a yarn together. Bring your yarn or other thread art and join us for a visit while creating. There is no agenda or topic. We're also glad to share tips or even help you learn crochet (yarn and hooks are available to practice) or embroidery (we have some floss, needles, aida and even some kits if needed). We even have fabric if you want to try slow stitch. The next gathering will be at 1:30 p.m., July 2.
Book Club for JuLY
When we gather, July 8 at 6 p.m., our book discussion will be on Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler. Hope to see you then!

IN THE NEWS
THE BATTALION
The monastery presents itself spiritually as humbly as it does physically. Taking its name from the ancient phrase "via media," it is a picture of moderation between the "high" and "low" churches of the area
THE EAGLE
“My experience of church is churches are built for extroverts. It’s harder to find those quiet moments in a church’s life. … A place dedicated toward spirituality, meditation, contemplation, I think is necessary.”
KBTX
On Friday evening, the Middleway Urban Monastery offered people the opportunity to walk for peace, as a form of experiential prayer, for the situation in Ukraine and other parts of the world in chaos.
