What is t'ai chi? 
     What type is being taught? 
          Who is our teacher?

Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese practice designed to activate the body’s own inherent nature for health using form and principles based on Chinese medicine and philosophy. As a formula for aligning with the very framework of life at its core, Tai Chi Chuan utilizes scientific knowledge and theory as well as cultural experience handed down from generation to generation. In this six weeks course, learn the beginning movements of the Tai Chi Chuan Yang’s Style-Short form and refine your skills of ‘true balance’- generating a deep relaxation within that awakens inner strength, focus, and vision. Moderate movements performed slowly and continuously. Wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, and flat-soled shoes. The first class is an introductory workshop offering foundational information helpful in understanding concepts and form mechanics. The remaining classes continue to develop skills in balance, coordination, and fluidity of movement.

About the Instructor: Christine Grimm
Over 25 years experience, with 10 years teaching. Started instruction at the age of 18 at the Tai Chi Chuan Center of Milwaukee, and continued there learning with push hands, sword, staff, Pa-Kua, Peter Ralston’s Cheng Hsin, and other self-defense techniques.  Started teaching form & principles in 1999 through a church that was pioneering a healing ministry, and has continued teaching with a health focus. At 19 years old, overcame Hodgkin’s Disease and incorporates insights gained from her recovery, as well as her lifelong health management into her classes; offering a unique perspective on health with a fresh look into the Tai Chi Chuan form as a healing tool.   Now, Christine is delighted to be a part of the Living Waters healing team!

Living Waters excited to host its first conversation...
Just For Men... A Conversation:  
Civility in The Midst of Conflict
Saturday February 7th, 2009 10am-3pm
Led by:  Don Mendenhall
Life Coach, Artist, Church Consultant
Conflict and misunderstanding is part
of the human condition
in relationship to others. It is when conflict
becomes destructive
and alienating that lives and community
well-being
become untenable.
This time apart for the men
offers opportunity to be in conversation
about conflict in our lives. 
An older term, that may well bring
a renewed understanding
of conflict and dis-agreement within the lives
of individuals, families,
work settings, and yes,
even congregations, is the concept of civility.
In the midst of even severe disagreement
simply being civil
can prevent the heartache
of destructive conflict.
This gathering was part of the living legacy
of Don Buck's ministry and personal commitment
to spirituality and well-being...Gathered in his honor.

 Jesus' and Yours!
Four different voices.
Four different introductions.
Four different messages.
Today the stories are blended by tradition and
yet each nativity story carries its own message and power.

God may be birthing in you at the beginning of a new year of life and faithfulness!

"Way of Torture, Way of the Cross"
November 2 & 9, 2008...a study-action course developed by Wisconsin Council of Churches and NRCAT, facilitated by our Pastor Karen

Sadly, we live in difficult and dangerous times.  We face a challenge today that raises profound questions about our very identity and integrity as Christians and as Americans....as torture continues to be part of a national and worldwide strategy to address "threat". This study hopes to challenge us to integrate faith with life and pushes us to think deeply about how faith in Jesus Christ makes a difference in who we are and how we act in the world. Recently, the PCUSA went on record taking a stand against the use of torture and Tippe took a stand last June.

Presented by:
Rev. Judi Holmes-Jensen...
friend of Tippe and
gifted leader!


Lenten Worship 2008
“Walking The Garden As Families”
God the Creator creates out of love,
through families.
And when that love gets hung up,
through marital affairs,
in kicking family members out
of the family, stopping our Creator's flow of love
 through the family,
injustices towards others--
then dysfunction occurs---
and even gets passed on from one
generation to the next,
out of our unconscious loyalty to try
healing past generations'
--our ancestors' –mistakes….
alcoholism,
power trips
Pastor Karen and Ron Anderson; leaders.
