We’re grateful to share another encouraging update on the progress of our new building!
This week site preparation continues to move forward. The site has been carefully scraped and prepared, though required soil testing has revealed that additional dirt must be removed to ensure a strong foundation for what’s ahead. Key coordination meetings will take place with public works engineers and utility teams, helping to align details for the next phases. A scope review meeting with an elevator contractor is also planned.
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: Sean Schrader - Pay Attention to the Earth |
|
Highlights:
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.

Bring the Kids to Church Every Sunday!! |
|
After a long time coming, we’ve started something new—there’s now a kid's table set up in the back every Sunday!
For this season, our services are all about being together as a family while we wait for our new building and dedicated kids spaces. It’s simple, but it feels like a really good step forward. |
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
"He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread" (Lk 24:35).
A dawn of resurrection can chase our fears away. The past is past, free at last, it's a brand new day. |

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!

“We need to add wings to our world, to set ourselves and our lives free from bondage… To know the meaning of freedom, to be free, indeed, we have to change the character of our thinking; we have to add wings to our world. We have to break through the pattern of thought with which we have surrounded ourselves and get a view of a larger horizon…. When we add wings to our world, we are not flying away from our world, rather we are adding freedom and power to it. Real freedom comes when we add wings to our world through faith, when we know the truth, the truth that makes us free…. We know the truth, as we affirm our spiritual nature, as we lift up our thoughts, our feelings, our emotions, as we add wings to our world through our faith in the Spirit in us….
We are in the world, and we want to be. We want to be an active part of life. We want to feel close to other persons; we want to contribute to the well-being and happiness of others …. To be free, to know the truth, to live like children of God, we need to know ourselves. And the only way we can know ourselves is through the silence, through prayer, through stilling the personal self and letting the Christ come forth in us. Prayer adds the wings of faith to our world” (Martha Smock, in “Add Wings to Your World” in Fear Not!). |
