Reflection on “Give Us This Day, Our Daily Bread”

Please Don’t Forget and Bring Along a Friend or Two
 
 
 
Sunday Evening, November 22nd at 6:00 p.m.

Tranquility With Tea

a service devoted to quieting minds, opening hearts, soothing souls

 
Ways of giving thanks are many and varied.  We are especially sensitive to those ways at this time of the year.  Thanksgiving Day gives us the opportunity to contemplate the many blessings we have received and offer our thanks for them. 

We welcome back Theresa Horton who has created our prayerful meditation and contemplation for the evening.  Through chant and reflection, she will help us consider a somewhat different understanding of the Aramaic translation and meaning for this phrase of the Lord’s Prayer … Giving us a prayer to offer as we gather with Family and Friends around our own Thanksgiving Table.

Theresa is an attorney in Greenville, whose interest in and study of the Aramaic words of Jesus is based on the works of Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz – who studied with Matthew Fox before finding his own unique path.
 
A portion of the offering collected Sunday evening has been designated for the Resurrection Power Ministries – a faith-based program providing an after-school program for K-4 through high school age youth – honoring Theresa for sharing her creative energy with us. 

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON THE 22ND!!!

A Service Devoted To Heretics


 
a service devoted to honoring heretics
Sunday Evening, November 8th
6:00 pm 

There have been heretics among us down through the ages … 
Folks who have traveled their religious journey on a path just slightly off-center from the accepted way.  
Some of these men and women, once considered heretics, became recognized and celebrated as saints!
Come and meet several of these folks … and as part of the service, we will have the opportunity to name other heretics and pray God’s blessing on them.
The second in our ‘Trilogy of Services’ recognizing and celebrating All Saints Day.

A WONDERFUL EVENING FOR EVERYONE … WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!
