Jami Lula in the House!
Join us this Sunday, April 10th, for a powerful musical treat! Jami Lula is a singer, song writer and recording artist who appears all over the country. He has offered to bring some Lula vibes to our congregation here at the Symphony of Life. Jami has a way of singing a song that touches the depths of your being. Michael Beckwith has said about Jami, "Jami Lula's music is more than a shiver-inducing experience in sound; it is inspiration itself as an offering just to you. What I love about Jami's improvisational textures is the intimacy he exudes through his personal intensity, which comes from a direct relationship with life, his love of it, and of humanity." Come join us for this inspirational journey!

One of our congregants, Alexis Ells, has created an amazing Equine Sanctuary here in Ojai, a place where rescued horses are rehabilitated and employed as therapy horses for children, soldiers and the disabled. There are volunteer opportunities available for grounds maintenance, tractor work, gardening, even office and computer work -- no horse experience is required.

Creative Adventures Winter Program Rev. Marilyn Miller, with the help of Todd Chandler and Theresa Stafford, facilitated the children's program this past Sunday. We are very grateful to them for their unwavering dedication to our children. Rev. Marilyn is the Director of our Youth Adventures Program, and she has done a great job in spearheading and organizing a fabulous experience for our children. Our youth program supports parents in raising joyful, happy children who are self-confident, spiritually aware, global citizens. Each Sunday, our children 3-11 years old enjoy prayer, story telling, visual arts projects and/or music and movement. Our program is enriching and appropriate for young people regardless of their religious backgrounds. As part of our Sunday program, children get to explore the roots, purpose and meaning of special holidays throughout the year. We welcome assistant teachers who enjoy children and are willing to give of their time once monthly or quarterly. Please call Rev. Marilyn Miller if you are interested (805) 640-0498.
