May the God of the dawn awaken you;  May the God of sunrise stir you up;  May the God of morning bless your work;   May the God of noon renew your strength;  May the God of sunset bring you home;  May the God of dusk soothe your soul;  May the God of night bring you rest.

Dearest Community Members,

Rosemary, even Aviana, & I have really, really so missed all of you.   We hope and pray that you are all healthy and safe.

Should you need anything from the stores and cannot or feel hesitant about going out, please let me & Rosemary know.  People from the community have already volunteered to shop for any of you.  

We will keep you posted about next Sunday.   Live stream the celebration (Mike)?  Let John present his Matthew studies?

Thanks to all you members of the board who unanimously voted to take this Sunday off, even though I was looking for a loop hole. 

Here is why we go to Oaxaca.  The view outside our second floor window.  A paradise of tropical flowers.  

Happy 11th Anniversary, Fred and Martha

Rosemary's Blessing:

Grant us, Lord God,

a vision of your world as your

love would have it: 

a world where the weak are protected,

and none go hungry or poor; 

a world where the riches of creation are

shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

a world where different races and cultures

live in harmony and mutual respect; 

a world where peace is built with justice,

and justice is guided by love.

Give us the inspiration and courage to

build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
