The
address of 2465 has now been reassigned for the School as 2433 Nursery

At last, the Discovery Academy has its partial certificate of occupancy, and Principal Akbaba has welcomed us to meet in our former worship space, starting July 7! That's this coming Sunday! Our Contractor, Bill Botelho, awaits the City's approval of our construction permit, and has applied for a permit for our construction fencing, the next step in our project.
The path has certainly been long & challenging, but we have held together & we’ll finish strong!
We are deeply grateful for the steadfast faith of all those whose gifts of love and substance sustain our Church during this time of transition. We are glad to welcome old friends and new friends on Sundays on our home campus.
Our
beautiful new Church Home is being built for us in wisdom, love, and
divine timing and we are ready to receive it! |

This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Peace Return to Me
|
|
Lyrics from “Peace, Return to Me” by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, & Patricia Bahia
When I’m feelin’ far from home, peace return to me.
In the chaos of the storm, peace return to me.
When I feel I’m all alone, peace return to me.
When it seems I can’t go on, peace return to me.
When I feel I’m not enough, peace return to me.
When I’m ruled by fear and not by love, peace return to me.
When forgiveness can’t be found, Peace return to me.
When I’m standing here on shaky ground, peace return to me.
Peace be still, Peace be still, in the heart of everything.
Peace be still, peace be still, peace return to me.
*The picture above is Leddy with Elian and Wendy, two of our forever friends at Congregation Beth Shalom.

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“If you are called, reply, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening” (Sam. 3:8-9).
“There's a gate that's open, you can walk right through. That's your true calling, calling you.” |

What is Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT)
Your body is more powerful than you may imagine, filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing.
Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques that utilize the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips, literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power.
Gather with a great group of positive and supportive folks with healing in mind!

"I am Thine idea, O God, and in Thee I live and move and have my being.' ... The words are spoken -- I have cast away anxious care .... To the homesick wanderer, rest and peace. To the parched earth-traveler, living waters .... They are words of gladness ... glad foretaste of the time when 'there shall be no more pain, neither sorrow nor crying, for the former things have passed away.' And to all who say them knowing why they are true, sweet assurances of favor with Omnipotence and signs of growth in grace and goodness" (Emma Curtis Hopkins, Class Lessons of 1888, p. 35). |
