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: 

    Let us pray to our God

    To the God of Mary and Joseph,

    To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

    May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

    May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

    May our hearts forgive without limit.

    May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

    May our needs be few and our living simple.

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

        O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry; 
        When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless; 
        When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all; 
        When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer, 
        And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.
