Dear Friends in Christ,  
 
Our festival day of Pentecost draws near on the 31st of May.  Here are some words from an old song you may have missed in the 1970s...
 
I know that love is seeing all the Infinite in one.
In the brotherhood of creatures, through the Father, through the Son.
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold.
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone: 
You are never alone...
 
And the Spirit fills the darkness of the heavens.
It fills the endless yearning of the soul.
It lives within a star too far to dream of.
It lives within each part and is the whole:
it's the fire and the wings that fly us home.

Mission Endowment Fund
 
Luther RoseIn January 2009, at its semi-annual meeting, the congregation unanimously approved the "first reading" of amendments to the RLC constitution to authorize creation of a Mission Endowment Fund.  The RLC constitution requires passage of the first reading by one-half of the voting members present.  In order to adopt the proposed amendments at the second reading, it must be approved by two-thirds of the voting members present at a second congregation meeting.  The text of the original amendment for consideration at the June 14, 2009 Congregation Meeting is provided for all to review on the Council Website
