January 2, 2014

 

Greetings!

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

Don't go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.

Don't go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill

where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.

Don't go back to sleep.

        Rumi

"The Revelation of God Through Iconography"

with community member, Bettie Seitzer  
Since the earliest centuries of Christianity, icons were created to teach and inspire the faithful in their pursuit of spiritual growth.  Bettie will share the teachings of the Eastern Orthodox iconography  meditation practice that is followed during the 'writing' of an icon; the movement of creation from a pure state through the manifestation of chaos to the light of God shining in the eyes of the subject depicted in the icon.
 
LAST SUNDAY
December 29, 2013

"Spiritual Vision And Our Shared Journey:  A Labyrinth Adventure"
with Community Member, Tom Vetter   

Tom shared his brilliance with us as he helped us understand the connection between the Cosmos, sacred geometry, sacred space, and labyrinths.  He led us on a journey to experience our role in making the paradigm shift as we walk the labyrinth.  Because it was very experiential, it was decided not to record.

 Enhanced Prayer begins in 2014Janet Bergman
a notice from Janet Bergman
   

An effort to expand and enrich our prayer ministry is being launched....now.

 
All who come to Spirit United are invited to use this service.  Our guidance comes from Healing Presence and Spirit United's Guiding Principles.
 

 We now have a prayer box (prototype) for individuals to write their requests for prayer.  Requests received will be honored for a month of weekly prayers. The box and the request forms have been placed on the table by the meditation room in order to make it easily accessible to everyone. 

 

You may indicate your desire to have your request published in the e-newsletter.  The newsletter reaches hundreds of persons who may join in this service in their homes.  Another option is to request a member of Spirit Vine contact you if it your desire to talk with someone.
 

 This is a new, evolving service inspired by and in memory of Marilyn Sholl, Gordy Chatterton, and Kathleen O'Donovan.  Their influences live on in our hearts.

     
Commit to Community.  The library is in need. 
   Spirit United Logo  Old Books 
Share your talent 
and time with 
Spirit United. 


The library is looking for someone to facilitate its organization and bring it a fresh, new look. 

Cyndi has been leading this process for years and is ready to give the task to others.  She will teach the system, share thoughts, guide and help with tasks from time to time.  She is ready to give it to someone new.

Please, see her after Sunday service to learn more.  You will find her in the library.   
As the website is rebuilt, the e-newsletter will be undergoing changes as well. 

Please, have patients as I experiment with the look and feel of our newsletter.  I am seeking to create a shorter more easily read e-newsletter that eventually will link to our website. 

As our website is built it will be the tool that gives the in-depth details needed for events.  The two will rely on each other to best serve you and your needs.

Thank you for your understanding. 

THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
A temporary website page has been created on the internet for Spirit United while we rebuild.

Some links in the e-newsletter have been removed until the new site is created.  Be sure to look carefully in this newsletter for contact information.
