It appears we're now in the homestretch of our building permit being approved. The only remaining items are site related issues that the school's contractor has assured us are almost ready for inspection. Once those items are finally passed, our permit will be green lighted by the city.
The campus grounds are really starting to take shape with lots of beautiful landscaping and as of this week the paving process has begun. The parking lot was milled on Monday (pic above) and asphalt should be going down on the parking lot and the road later this week.
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 new friends on Sundays!
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 - God's Green Earth
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to “Pay Attention” Joyce Johnson Rouse (Earth Mama), based on wisdom attributed to Chief Seattle):
Pay attention to the trees, pay attention to the river.
Pay attention to the bees. Pay attention to the weather.
Pay attention to the waters, to the dreams, to the forests, to the streams.
Pay attention to the glaciers, to the breeze, to the frost line and the coastline and the coral beneath the seas.
Pay attention to the wisdom, to the brothers and sisters living close to the Earth.
We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors. We are just borrowing it from our children.
This we know: The Earth does not belong to us. We belong ....to the Earth. |
|
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“May God go before me…. For you are my fortress, my refuge in time of trouble, my strength … my fortress, my loving God” (Ps 59).
Love stands beside us. It goes before us. It moves around us, it restores us. Love is everything. |

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!

Let's get together and chat!
Leddy hosts a weekly Zoom "Table Talk" every Thursday so we can stay in touch more regularly.
