Mystic Mondays
7:00 p.m. First, second, & third Mondays: September through May
Are you interested in deepening your faith? Would you like to be a part of some smaller groups devoted to spiritual growth? Then Mystic Monday is for you!!! Join us as we explore faith through Taizé Worship, Knitting Prayer Shawls, and a study of Spirituality and the Arts. Childcare is provided.
On the first Monday of each month, a Taizé Service is held in Moye Chapel. This 40-minute service is modeled after the beautiful services that originated in Taizé, France, at an ecumenical, international community founded there in 1940. A Taizé Prayer Service consists of music, song, gospel readings, quiet meditation, and chants. If you are seeking time to be quietly apart, to pray and listen to God, and to be in the presence of a worshiping community, this service may be just what you are seeking. There is no ‘sermon’, no offering, no choir, no announcements – just simple worship.
The second Monday of each month, we will gather to create beautiful prayer shawls to share with those who are ill or grieving. You do not have to know how to knit – someone will teach you. Please bring a pair of size 11 or 13 knitting needles or M, N, or P crochet hooks if you prefer to crochet. If you are looking for a ministry of prayer and care for others this may be it. Come and help wrap someone in God’s love by creating a beautiful prayer shawl. The teapot will be on.
On the third Monday of each month, we are pleased to offer a course on Spirituality and the Arts as we look at film, music, photography, and art and their religious significance.

9 a.m. Moye Chapel Service
Worship each Sunday morning
Join us each Sunday morning for this early service held in our lovely Moye Chapel, located on the east-side of the CGCC Church campus. Amid the lush foliage of our meditation gardens and the grandeur of our new beautiful fountain, you enter into this more intimate setting where quiet prayer, a challenging message, and music from one of our gifted soloists is the order of the morning. The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated each week in this service. Childcare is always available.
11 a.m. Sanctuary Service
Worship each Sunday morning
We gather in the beauty of our historic Spanish-style sanctuary to be engaged in meaningful worship which feeds our spiritual hungers. We are led in thoughtful prayer which expresses our deepest needs; we listen to stimulating sermons which stretch our vision; and we learn to recognize God’s grace in our lives. Our outstanding choirs provide music which makes our souls soar. It is said that each week is a bit different; but every week there is something that challenges and calls us to be more than we thought possible. No matter where you are on your faith journey; you will find a place with us. Sunday School and childcare is available during this service.

The Rev. Dr. Laurinda M. Hafner’s passion for prophetic ministry, the social gospel and the arts has been the mark of her vibrant ministry. Called as Senior Pastor of Coral Gables Congregational Church in August, 2006, Laurie came from Cleveland, Ohio where she most recently served as senior pastor of Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ, for almost 17 years. The dynamic ministry she led at Pilgrim Church has been described by Niles Harper in his book, Urban Churches, Vital Signs: Beyond Charity Toward Justice, and by Chris Hobgood in Welcoming Resistance. In 2000, Laurie was named by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as one of “Those Who Will Help to Shape Our Lives in the New Millennium” in the field of religion and faith. Also in 2000, Laurie planned and presided at Pilgrim Church’s Easter worship service, “Joy,” which was broadcast by ABC across the nation on Easter Sunday morning.
Prior to her call to Pilgrim Church, Dr. Hafner worked in the executive offices of the United Church of Christ’s national setting and served several local United Church of Christ congregations in Ohio. She has also been involved in politics, serving as campaign manager for a successful state representative race for District 53 in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1988 and as a campaign consultant in 1990 and 1992.
Laurie is a political science graduate of Elon University in North Carolina, where she was president of the student body in her senior year. Following her graduation from Elon in 1976, she attended Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana, where she received her Master of Divinity Degree in 1979. She was awarded a Doctor of Ministry Degree from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois, in 1984. In the early-eighties, she studied with Father Henri Nouwen at Yale Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut.
Laurie is married to attorney Richard Walters, and they are the proud parents of their elementary schoolage daughter, Ciana Marie. In her free time, Laurie is an avid basketball fan and enjoys films, reading, traveling, and table tennis.
