Construction Update
We continue to wait for the last few items on our building permit to be approved.  The only items left are site related issues and it is our understanding that the school's contractor will complete the remaining items shortly. Once those items are finally passed, our permit will be green lighted by the city.

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 - Peace in Our Lifetime
Inspired by lyrics to the “Peace in Our Lifetime” chant by Richard Mekdeci:

One life, one love, one peace in our lifetime – one life at a time.

One Truth, one world, one peace in our lifetime – one life at a time.

One life, one love, one life at a time – one life at a time.

One voice, one choice one peace in our lifetime; one prayer, one dream – one life at a time.

*Leddy with Carol and Mike Record.
Carol blessed us this past Sunday with her beautiful message and presence!
Last Sunday's Shining Words:

“… Be strong and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD, your God, is with you wherever you go!”

The presence of God watches over us. Wherever we are, God is!

EFT - Tapping Group
Tuesdays
1:30 PM
Zoom
 
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!
 
To Join:
Midweek Prayer/Meditation Service
Wednesdays

PRAYER ..."is communion with God.... This communion is an attitude of mind and heart that lifts the individual into a wonderful sense of oneness with God, who is Spirit, the Source of every good and perfect thing..." (Myrtle Fillmore's Healing Letters).

We invite you to join us for a half hour of contemplative guided prayer time. The service is live streamed to our Facebook page so no need to log in to Zoom. You will not be on camera and can use this quiet time to observe or just listen to this peaceful meditation. Prayer brings beautiful changes.
Table Talk - All are Welcome!
Thursdays
12:00 PM
Zoom

Let's get together and chat!

Leddy hosts a weekly Zoom "Table Talk" every Thursday so we can stay in touch more regularly.

Why Table Talk? Well, because that's one thing we miss during this time: sitting around a table in the café and talking together. The Table Talk will last about an hour. Feel free to drop in for a few minutes or spend the whole hour with us.

Healing Thought # 217
Message printed on the back of the April, 1945 issue of Daily Word, April, 1945: “The Ultimate Victory”

“WARS DO NOT go on forever. Conquerors and kings appear and in a little while are dust. Recurring spring soon greens the fields they fought upon. Soon this present fighting will be over and the lights will go up again in the cities and in the minds of [humankind].

Again there will be hearts leaping up at a rainbow or a bird song. Again, there will be laughing children in the streets. The plowing in the spring and the autumn reaping will seem good. There will be quiet firesides to sit by of an evening. There will be [people] to dream and devise, to build, knock down, and build again a little better.

There will be love and beauty and faith and growth—tomorrow, a week from tomorrow, a year, a century, a hundred centuries, always—there will be singing…. and youth setting out in a restless dawn to seek the unattainable and find it, to attempt the impossible and achieve it. Truth will endure, and high vision will beckon. There will always be [people] to carry the light forward, to push out bravely against the darkness.”

—The Ultimate Victory, Silent Unity.
OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:

"LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME."

THANK YOU, GOD!
