Sunday Worship Service
|
July 1, 10:30 am: The Look of Love: A Call for Everyday 'Seers' Emily Fisher with Worship Associate Sue Fleckles Emily Fisher is entering her second year as a student at Starr King School for the Ministry. She graduated from U.C. Davis School of Law in 2004 and is currently Staff Counsel for a small State agency.
We'll talk about how we create and change each other by how we see and are seen, and the importance of recognizing that we aren't seeing the whole picture.
July 8, 10:30 am: The Fundamentals of Making Love Instead of War Joan Nelson with Worship Associate Dianne Estrada
We are handing our children a world that continues to make war. Why? Primarily, because morality is subject to extreme and contradicting points of view. Morality in general. Sexual morality in particular. When will we ever learn?

Update - Elinor Severinghaus | | Elinor is stable, responds with "yes" or "no" and a few words, indicating that she is essentially happy with her situation in Greenbrae Care and all they do for her. Jean, Ed and I visit her often, sometimes to feed her a meal (the aides do it if we aren't there).
Yesterday Ed and I got her into the front seat of my old Camry and went to the solstice party of the artists at her old haunts, now called the O'Hanlon Center for the Arts, in Mill Valley, to visit for the first time since her stroke, and meet some old artist friends.
Her smiles proved to us her real delight in getting back there.
