We have gotten a commitment from the steel supplier that the long anticipated steel for the footings and foundation will be delivered on February 19th! That will be a huge milestone for us!
We remain very grateful for the steadfast faith of all those whose gifts of
love and substance sustain our Church during this time of transition.
We are very glad to welcome old friends and new friends on Sundays on our
home campus. Watch this space as we give thanks together that God is clearing the way for us to go forward.
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 - Strength to Surrender |
|
Highlights:
Lyrics to “Strength to Surrender” by Linda Webb-Khakaba
It takes strength to surrender and courage to let go.
It takes faith to leave the path we know.
Let God lead me, let Spirit lead me, let love lead me home.
Give me strength to surrender, courage to let go of the past, and love to lead me through.
*It was good to have Dell with us this past Sunday! |
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Mt. 5:16).
“We are one Light, shining together, one Light, held high and bright. One Light, whenever we gather, one people, one union, one Light.” |

Mondays
6:30 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!

“Letting Go”
As children bring their broken toys, with tears, for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God, because He is my Friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone,
I stood around and tried to help, with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried, “How could you be so slow?”
“My child,” God said, “What could I do? You never did let go.” --Loretta P. Burns (1957)
“Moving On”
I now let go of broken dreams, for as we’re coming near
To singing “Auld Lang Syne” again to ring in a New Year,
I finally let go of hopes to have a better past.
Those broken dreams into the urn of nothingness, I cast.
What I’d been holding onto for so long, I now release.
By letting go, I’m moving on. At last, I am at peace.
(added, in tribute, by Leddy Hammock in 2021) |
