If I can learn enough from my crash course this week on burning CD’s & DVD’s, during the brunch prepare yourselves to see a slide show on some of our Yosemite trips, likewise last year’s trip to Glacier Nat. Park, Montana
P.S. Anyone have a laptop they would like to sell? We need a laptop for CD
and DVD presentations. Thanks. J.S
Concerning the Cruise next year, Marianne has this to say:
We have the cruise all set up now ready to be booked. The deposits are due by 7/29, but since we were just able to get this on our website in the last few days, I am going to see if we can stretch that first date to August 15.
If you want to book a triple or quad, they are available on a limited basis, so please contact me with the passenger names, ages, etc and we will find out how many are available. Carnival also indicated that if a triple or quad is reserved, a full deposit is also required.
If you have any questions, please contact me asap. I have also attached a PDF format of the flyer so you can forward to any of your friends and family who might be interested. It is not just limited to our church members!

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week
This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season.
Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.
The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light?
What's not OK in me?
What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me?
Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice?
To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

I discovered this restaurant about 8 months ago and we have been back 5 times and never disappointed. It gets even better, it is a BYOB. Please join us for a fun lunch. I do have to make reservations. This is a small restaurant. Please let me know if you can come.

Kameran ready for his baptism Saturday. Before the baptism, I look down at Kameran to see that he not only has an iPhone open in his had, but he is looking for a particular app with his finger. He barely knows how to walk and already can operate an iPhone. Just like when we were kids, yeah.
Special Announcement: We are moving
After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood. Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines. Sigler will be more economical. September 6 we begin our new adventure.
