"The Messiness of Letting Go"
The Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
In this worship service Reverend Macklin will share insights, delights and termites from a training which addressed contemplative practices and letting go. Rachel Naomi Remen, a teacher at the training, states, "Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you---all of the expectations and all of the beliefs---and becoming who you are." Sounds easy enough, but be forewarned, things could get messy!
Our Choir will sing "The Paper Reeds by the Brook" by Randall Thompson, text from Isaiah.

Small Car Parking Reserved for Better Navigation
Please note that at the northwest corner of our property,
we have new signs indicating 4 parking spaces reserved especially for small cars. If only small vehicles use these spaces, and they pull all the way in to the parking bumpers, it will be easier for vans and other large vehicles to negotiate the right turn at the top of the hill. Thanks for your help!
