| | | | | The project continues to make steady progress as site preparation moves forward. Over the past two weeks, the primary focus has been preparing the ground for the future foundation work. More than 43 truckloads (18-yard dump trucks) of unsuitable soil have been removed from the property, and as of today (May 19), the subgrade preparation work has been completed. This coming Saturday, the remaining soil pile is expected to be removed from the site, marking another important milestone.
Later this week, a compaction roller will be delivered to prepare and compact the soil across the building footprint. Looking ahead, a soil compaction inspection is scheduled for May 28, with the masonry contractor beginning footing excavation the week of June 1.
We’re also excited to share that contracts have now been finalized for several major construction components, including plumbing, masonry, structural steel, electrical, fire alarm and fire suppression systems, HVAC, roof trusses, and the elevator. Step by step, our new church home is becoming a reality!
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 - We Remember |
|
Highlights:
“We Remember Them” by Rabbis Sylvan Kamens and Jack Riemer:
"At the rising of the sun and at its going down ....
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them."
"At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring ....
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them."
"AAt the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn ....
At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them."
"When we have achievements that are based on theirs ....
When we fulfill their dreams, and our own, we remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live: for they are now a part of us, as we remember them."
* Leddy admiring a poster of a quote often attributed to Plato: “Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” |

Bring the Kids to Church Every Sunday!! |
|
After a long time coming, we’ve started something new—there’s now a kids 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 meaningful step forward.
Deanna has graciously stepped up to welcome and care for our kids each week. She’ll have coloring activities available, along with a couple of iPads for them to use. Kids are also welcome to bring a tablet or phone to enjoy quietly during the service.
A big thanks to Deanna for helping make this possible! |
| Last Sunday's Shining Words:
Joseph said, “That Pharaoh had the same dream twice means that the matter has been confirmed by God and that God will soon bring it about .... God meant it for good’” (Gen. 41:25-50:20).
“I dreamed of rain and the rains came, and peace spread over the land.” |

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 are like the Prodigal Son, forever journeying out into the 'far country,' living at the circumference of experience, and dealing only with the memories of the subconscious mind. It is like being in a dream sleep, in which we forget who we are and what we are about. In the story, the Prodigal 'comes to himself' and says, 'I will arise and go unto the Father.' He awakens and remembers who he is and where he was going.
Whenever we face a challenge of any kind, whether we seek guidance or healing or prosperity, ... the need is to awaken the Truth from within the mind, to awake and remember who we are....
The key to Jesus’ power was that He constantly called to 'remembrance' who He was.... The real purpose of prayer and meditation is to awake, remember, and understand.... Remember your oneness with God, ... remember your perfect body and mind. So call all this to remembrance, and understand."
"And the only way to do this is to awake from the dream sleep, and remember transcendentally. Remember that, after all, you are a spiritual being, living in a spiritual world, governed and sustained by spiritual law" (Eric Butterworth, Lecture at Unity of New York City, May, 1975). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
"I AWAKE FROM FORGETFULNESS AND REMEMBER THAT I AM A
SPIRITUAL BEING, LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH OF BEING."
