February 5, 2014
Greetings!
"After some time in the tavern a point comes,
a memory of elsewhere, a longing for the
source and the drunks must set off from the
tavern and begin the return. At the end of
all wonderings, there is only the Soul's
yearning to return to God."
Rumi,
Spirit United 2014 Theme:
The Soul's Journey to Love and Freedom
February's sub-theme: The Call: Starting the Journey
February's archetype: The Loner
"In form you are the microcosm,
but in reality you are the macrocosm."
- Rumi

THIS SUNDAY 
February 9, 2014
10:30am-11:30am
"The Call" with Rev. Ron Moor and music with Claudia Schmidt
We have been disturbed, we have begun to wake up. We have figured out we are seeking, but what is it that we seek? In this second stage of our journey toward love and freedom we become aware that we are being called. We consciously start our journey, we cross the threshold, often feeling all alone. Rumi advises, "Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love."

Enhanced Prayer
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 is 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.

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.
