Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
"Remember," by Christina Rossetti, who we celebrated yesterday

Kingdom Secrets: Bible Study for May
Have you ever wondered why Jesus spoke in parables? Or asked, what is a parable anyway?

If you have ever asked yourselves questions like these, this Adult Bible Study is for you.
To register, call the church office at 858-487-2159. Reservations are appreciated so we can estimate how much food we need for the group.
