"Where the Light Always Shines"

Mountain Spirit - Weekly Newsletter

Listening to Rev Robin talk on any topic is always a treat, but in this short video she shares fascinating details about our church's earliest days--even before the turn of the century... Here's one tidbit to whet your interest: In February of 2001, Robin led her very first service, and not long after that she accepted the position of Spiritual Leader, which continued until her husband, Rick was transferred to Texas.

John Stringer's return engagement was a huge success, and it was followed by another workshop, which this time was centered on healing. John's enthusiasm and spiritual energy is contagious, and the full sanctuary fairly vibrated with his lively music. (The pretty lady at the top is Kathy Stringer, John's wife and partner.) A variety of snack foods were shared between the service and the workshop, courtesy of the Hospitality Committee, and Suzi Henry's Power Balls, shown above in Bob Sleczkowski's photo, brought several requests for the recipe. This time at least, as you ask, so shall you receive. Apologies for the size and lightness of the text below. If you can't enlarge the image, you can email Suzi at suzihenry43@gmail.com for a more legible copy, plus suggestions for other ingredients you can add to make the Power Balls even more nutritious. Enjoy!
