The North Bend Public Library is excited to announce its first-ever Battle of the Jigsaw Puzzlers on Saturday, November 22, from 1:00–5:00 PM. Competitors will form teams of up to four players and race to complete a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle in under an hour. The event will feature three competition sessions starting at 1:10 PM, 2:30 PM, and 3:50 PM. At each session, the first team to finish—or the team judged closest to completion—will be crowned the winner and awarded a prize. The team with the fastest overall time across all three rounds will earn the grand prize: a custom t-shirt featuring the 2025 Summer Reading theme and a set of all three competition puzzles. Space is limited, and registration is required. For a complete list of rules and to register your team, go to the North Bend Public Library' website.

These small gatherings are for those who practice or would like to learn about Christian contemplative, or mystical, spirituality. The meetings are open to the public, educational, supportive, and non-dogmatic, but we are currently meeting in the Ashland Public Library's Guanajuato Room, which has limited space. (Disclaimer: These meetings are neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Ashland Public Library.) Please arrive on time to have the doors at the rear of the building unlocked; the library will not yet be open. —Fr. Scott Carter

Parent Project is a 10-week series where we go over topics like improving family relationships, using effective discipline to improve school attendance and performance, reduce substance use and negative peer influences, and how to address destructive behavior. It is an opportunity to meet with other parents in similar situations in a judgement free zone and begin to develop a new support system. When you feel like you have tried everything and nothing is working, we can help.
Join us on Tuesdays at the Gene Lucas Community Center beginning September 30th from 6pm-8pm. Dinner and Childcare are provided.

From Pain to Power: Your Breakthrough Guide to Unshakable Freedom is a transformational lecture designed to help you uncover the deeper meaning behind your most painful life experiences. Drawing from the groundbreaking “Soul Freedom” Three-Pillar Integration Framework—Science, Psychology, and Spirituality—this talk reveals how breakdowns, trauma, and crisis can catalyze profound personal awakening and spiritual alignment.

You’ll learn how chronic stress traps you in survival mode, and how acute pain can disrupt the cycle, awakening your intuitive power. Discover how so-called coincidences are actually soul-level messages, and how trauma-induced sensitivity can be transformed into true energetic perception. With practical tools to rewire your nervous system and trust your inner voice, this isn’t just insight—it’s activation.

Guided by Sol Santos’s gripping personal story—from incarceration to inner liberation—this experience is a powerful call to reclaim your life, your voice, and your freedom. It’s time to stop running from pain and start decoding its message. Your transformation begins now.

Open Meditation for All in The Sanctuary
Wednesdays from noon to 1:00 pm

Each Wednesday from noon to 1:00 pm, the KSC Sanctuary will be open to all for meditation. We invite you to come and meditate quietly in your own way.

We have a wide assortment of food available. Bags with staple items are pre-filled, but we will gladly add any special requests if they are available. When you visit, there is always a simple lunch. On the last Wednesday of every month, we serve a pretty darned good hot meal with salad and a huge table filled with pies and desserts. We call it a community lunch. All are welcomed.
