2018    Dear Friends,       Please join our dream group every 1st and 3rd Sunday afternoon 3-5 pm in the Rancho Penasquitos area in the new year of the dog. This painting by Meinrad Craighead looks to me to be about a woman's dream of unconditional love from her dog and being one with all the creatures.

Matthew Fox the modern theologian shares a recent dream he had that a voice told him there was only one thing the human race has to do in this time of global crisis. Live as if all life is sacred!

Our Common Home a church and counseling center's new mission statement. Our Common Home provides religious and psychological services to awaken to the moral and ecologic crisis as an invitation for spiritual growth and creating loving community with all of creation, caring for our common home, Mother Earth.  Healing and Prayer Service third Sunday of every month at 5 pm January 21, 2018. Jesus was a healer and the Christian tradition of prayer and hands on healing has too often been left out of some churches in recent times. We will begin conversation and explore, not a supernatural God or a God who is omnipotent, but rather the God who is omnipresent and who wants out healing and wholeness.

Prayer Mother/Father God who is within us, we celebrate your many names. Your wisdom come, your will be done, unfolding from the depths within us. Each day you give us all that we need. You remind us of our limits and we let go. You support us in our power and we act with courage. For you are the dwelling place within us, the empowerment around us, and the celebration among us, now and forever. Amen    by Sister Miriam Therese Winters
