Please join us on Sunday (27 July 2014) at 10:30 AM Sunday Worship — “The Modern Mantra, Part II” by Ron Hagar

Ron Hagar presides over Part II of this participatory worship experience exploring the definition and purpose of a mantra and the idea of creating one’s own mantra.
This week, we will delve more deeply into the topic and feature congregational sharing of personal mantras as participants are willing and time allows.

Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service before we sing them out to their summer activities.  On this Sunday, they will be making their own variations on these two shirts:

They need to bring a black or dark-colored t-shirt for the project. We will have a few extras on hand, available for a donation if they need one, but as with tie-dye a few weeks ago, bringing their own guarantees the fit and style they’ll prefer.

Please joins us on Sunday (20 July 2014) for our 10:30 AM worship and religious education time.

“The Modern Mantra, Part I” by Ron Hagar — Ron Hagar is back and presiding over, not one but two worship services on this Sunday and the following Sunday (27 July 2014).

Part I of this participatory worship experience will explore the definition and purpose of a mantra and the idea of creating one’s own mantra.

Next week, Part II will delve more deeply into the topic and feature congregational sharing of personal mantras as participants are willing and time allows.

Community Building Games — In the Religious Education Wing, Steve Caldwell will lead the children and youth in some fun community-building games. The children and youth will join us in the sanctuary for the first 15-20 minutes and then we will sing them out to their activities.

Please join us on Sunday (13 July 2014) at 10:30 AM for our all-ages worship service — “Old Turtle and the Broken Truth”

“In a time when every stone is a teacher and every tree is a ladder to the stars, the people live in peace.”

Then the people discover a powerful truth that brings them strength and happiness, but they cannot see that their truth is broken and incomplete, and they suffer needlessly.  Can a child help Old Turtle to remind them of the Truth they have lost?
