Rosemary's Blessing: 

As we begin the new year of 2011,

May our relationship with God continue to grow, 

May our days be filled with blessings of all sorts,

May those we love be near us in spirit if not in person,

May we be forever grateful for all we have,

And may we always be alert for opportunities

to share our gifts and blessings with others.

Wisdom 12:  And you taught your people, by these deeds, that those who are just must be kind;
and you gave your children good ground for hope that you would permit repentance for their sins.
Romans 8:  The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
Matthew 13:  Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying: “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.  While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.

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: 

May the Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen,

and a holy rest, and peace at the last.
