17 May 2015 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

 

CarlSaganQuoteMay2015Please join us on Sunday (17 May 2015) at 11:00 AM for “Short of the Glory” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

We will continue our exploration of our fifth source (“Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and to avoid idolatries of the mind and spirit”).

We will have a second collection for the Financial Ministry of Highland Center Ministries and Pelican State Credit Union (which offers lower cost loans that are a viable alternative to the payday lending debt trap.  Several members of the Board are collaborating to match up to $1000 so know that whatever you contribute is likely to be doubled and then matched again by Pelican.  Plan now to give to this very worthy cause tomorrow morning.

After our Sunday worship service, we will be holding a very important congregational business meeting — please attend.

Therefore, our focus is on “Peace, Social Justice and the Interdependent Web” — knowing, as Radha Sahar has said, that “everything relates to everything else.”  Please join us in celebration.

Easter Lillies

EasterLilyEach year, we offer the congregation the opportunity to purchase one or more Easter lilies per person to decorate the sanctuary for Easter Sunday.

Just as we do with the poinsettias for Christmas, members and friends can purchase a lily for $10 and write a dedication to honor or memorialize someone dear to their hearts.

The dedications will be published in the Order of Service (unless you request anonymity with your donation).

Fill out the form in your Order of Service or call the church using a credit card ($11.00 with the processing fee) and dictate your dedication over the phone.

After the service, the lily is yours to keep.  If you plant it in a shady spot in your yard, it will come back year after year.
