Holy Shift!


Saul on the road to Damascus. 

Everything changed in a moment.

 

Buddha achieving enlightenment as he sat under a Bodhi tree. 

Everything changed in a moment.

 

Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist. 

Everything changed in a moment.

 

Big important people experiencing big important conversions and transfigurations that changed the world.

 

And then there’s you and me. We too sometimes experience moments of what you might call”holy shift.” Those moments might be on a smaller scale than the people we just mentioned. They may not be as important and they probably don’t have the potential to change the whole world.


Or do they?

Mike Rizner - Our next landscaping

work day is scheduled for Sat, Nov 15 at 9 AM

On Sept 5, 15 hard working volunteers turned out to restore beauty and order to our labryinth and our meditation garden area. You might say they were filled with ZEAL and ENTHUSIASM. This time we will focus on the front area by our sign and the area by the HVAC and along the left side of our building. The good news is that we won't have to worry about landscaping maintenance again until next spring!


Please arrive at 9 AM, armed with all the paraphernalia you brought last time - gloves, pruners, shovels, weedeaters, tarps, and anything else you think might be useful.


Also, Riz says that we can use some more rocks, medium and large if possible...


THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT.


Well, maybe we don't need THAT many rocks. But we can use quite a few more.

Prayer Requests


Let us hold Sacred Space:


Christopher Godfrey,

as he heals from surgery,

and his wife, Brenda,

as she cares for him.


Let us continue to pray for

Donn Smith and

Donna and Gene Curry.
