You are Invited to Join Us at a Community HU Chant
“If you want to lift yourself to a higher state of
consciousness—so that the political issues, the
family issues, the social issues of the day do not
throw you out of balance, so that you can find a
happier, more contented life while you’re living
here—sing HU, the most beautiful prayer.”
—Harold Klemp,
HU, the Most Beautiful Prayer, page 58
Join us in this simple, 20-minute spiritual
exercise, followed by light refreshments and
fellowship.
Singing HU has helped people of many
different faiths experience the presence of
God.
