 “ What Did the Mystics Know?”

I was playing with this title, and then I discovered that this …

… was a thing. Please go ahead and read it if you’re so inclined, or just Google Richard Rohr.

I’ll have some thoughts of my own! Also, we’ll go deep with the music and I’ll be asking you to share your own experiences of your journey into the mystic.

Sharing their joy are our Spiritual Leader, Mike Davis, and one of our newest and most enthusiastic congregants, Michelle Colucci. When they shine their own special light, it's positively contagious. Why are they so happy? Come to our Sunday service and find out.

Showing off her new blue Unity tee shirt is Platform Assistant Karen Trostle.

Super volunteers and super nice people--a perfect description of Mickey and Peggy Lince.

Mary Elder and Eddie Mohney pass the offering baskets. We are so very grateful for the generous sharing of time, talents and treasures.

After our Spiritual Leader, Mike Davis, and many others take turns describing the life and legacy of Donn Smith, members of his extended family gather for a group photo. The display of love and admiration for Donn's career as a chiropractor and stories about his many other accomplishments resounded throughout our sanctuary, while the 80+ attendees gave a whole new meaning to the term, "Standing Room Only." After the service, guests lingered to enjoy a bountiful buffet and continue exchanging memories of special moments they shared with this 97 year old patriarch. Godspeed, Donn. We will always hold you in our hearts.

Lynn Gates wasn't pictured with Donn's extended family, but his long time "best girl" was front and center as we paid homage to him.

Two tables were filled with potluck specialties, while a huge sheet cake was served in an adjoining rooom. No one left hungry, and we know for sure that Donn Smith left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

What did the Mystics Know?

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, into the Valley of the Giants we go...

...in search of a tree that's estimated to be over 500 years old, with a girth that couldn't be spanned by 7 dwarfs--or hikers!

Nine smiling hikers, two different poses. (Front row, from left), Linda Beaver, Lue Elder, Karen Trostle, Joanne Massey. (Back row), Mary Elder, Colleen Trickett, Jennifer Shottes, Larry Morgan, Walt Massey. Second photo, same nine hikers. So who do you think took the photos? Perhaps they ran into Sasquatch lurking behind one of the centuries old behemoths?

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN - Your generous donations provide assistance for those occasional emergencies that sometimes befall our church family. You can place your cash contribution in a donation envelope, or write Pennies from Heaven on the memo line of your check. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact our Spiritual Leader, Mike Davis.



POSITIVE PATHWAYS - Our church family continues to support this worthy organization with donations of items needed to support their community outreach. With the challenging weather, there is always a need for blankets, warm coats and other new or gently used seasonal clothing. This month, they have requested paper towels and individually wrapped snacks. In addition, there is a full list of their ongoing needs on the bulletin board in the hallway.

IF YOU NEED HELP - Click here to Contact the Congregation Care Team. Our small team of volunteers is dedicated to helping our fellow congregants by providing services such as delivering meals during a time of recovery, or offering transportation for a local medical appointment. We also send out birthday and other greeting cards. WE CARE deeply for our church family, and we need more volunteers for our Congregation Care Team. You can talk to Team Leader Jayne Rizner at church, or click on the blue link above to contact her by email.
