THIS WEEK Sunday
11:00 AM
Sunday
May 11, The Divine Feminine This is our annual
Mothers Day celebration. Swedenborg offers a unique understanding
of the Creator as the perfect balance of the Masculine and
Feminine. As we open ourselves to that divine presence we become
more balanced, more like the image and likeness of God. Steve
Mason and Lisa Allison will be offering wonderful music.
* Today many people have sensitivities to food.
Any kind of good food is welcome on Sundays and will be eaten with
thankfulness. Avoiding bringing anything with hygrogenated oil or
refined sugar is an extra blessing.

Starting it off Rev. Eric, Lisa, Lem Putnam, Gary Kersten and Doug
Howard, Linda Sebenius, all watched this years academy ward winner for
best film No Country for Old
Men. We all gave it a big thumbs down and wonder how such
a profoundly violent and distrubing film could be even be considered
for this years best. We recomend that you save your money.
In our humble opinion, spare your spirit from this truly awful display
of the worst of humanity. Shame on you Hollywood.

Be on "Stand by"
To make things easier and have something for the children every Sunday
Rachel and Sierra Grossman will continue caring for the children.
As we usually have only a few kids we really don't need to have
extra. So, when you sign up to lead you are signing up to be on Stand by. Sarah
Hoffman's main role is coordinating or scheduling adults to be on
Stand by for
those Sundays when a bunch of kids happen to show up. To be on Stand by write Sarah at sarah_hoffman25@hotmail.com.
However, if you really are fine with leading 1 or 2, 1-3 year
olds and don't want to attend the service your gift of teaching
is welcome.
Honor the Earth by making one phone call!
Want to do your part? Of course you do! Call the
