Announcements, Community Update

 

Jo & Ro 1

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.  

 

Oaxaca

Happy 11th Anniversary, Fred and Martha

    Rosemary’s Blessing

     HOPI PRAYER…..
    of The Soul's Graduation:

    Do not stand at my grave and weep
    I am not there,
    I do not sleep.

    I am a thousand winds that blow.
    I am the diamond glints on snow.
    I am the sunlight
    On the ripened grain.
    I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

    When you awaken in the morning hush,
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    of quiet birds in circled flight.
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.

    Do not stand at my grave and cry.
    I am not there.
    I did not die.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

           

    Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

    May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.
