yet it's full of footprints! Who are

in your ladder. Use them!
With company you quicken your ascent.

but in reality you are the macrocosm."

NEXT SUNDAY 
SCHOOL SUNDAY
March 23, 2014
10:30am-11:30am
"Companions Along The Way"
with Rev. Ron Moor
Many of us started our journey feeling alone, pushing our way through a thicket of claims and confusions. When we did pause to look around, we found we are not so alone. We began to meet others learning this new language, exploring this different culture. We also discovered that countless souls have gone before us, leaving footprints. We will explore companionship, inner, outer, visible and ineffable. We are Companions Along The Way. With
luminous images, lots of Rumi quotes, sacred chant, and open sharing.

March 9, 2014
Healing Service
facilitated by
Rev. Ron Moor
with musicians
James Schattauer and Bettie Seitzer
Ron reminded me how our hearts connect in love and
healing. And because we mindfully connect as one, our link is magnified. The individual healing moments, meditation, Tom Vetter's original labyrinth, and amazing harp and guitar music supported my aligning to my heart and linking into the One.

Reminders from Raphael -
- The service starts at 10:30am. So when you hear a tone or the "Love Prepare Me" chant, it is a signal to find your seat because the service is beginning. There will be plenty of time to socialize after the service.
- As you sit down, remember to silence your phones and pagers.
- Remember Wags And Worship is the first Sunday of the month and we have a blessing of the animals every Autumn.

Enhanced Prayer Ministry
Your prayer requests will be held in community meditation with sacred intention everyday for one month.
An expanded and rich prayer ministry is here to enhance the power and intention of your prayer. A group of individuals will pray simultaneously every day for one month per request.
Our guidance comes from Healing Presence and Spirit United's Guiding Principles.
All who come to Spirit United are invited to use this service.
To use this enhanced prayer line, use the prayer request form and place it in the prayer box (currently a prototype) on the table next to the meditation room. Be specific with your prayer to provide specific focus. Your request will be honored for one month.
Know that you will be given the option to request your prayer be published in the Spirit United's e-newsletter. The newsletter reaches hundreds of people who may also pray for your request.
This evolving service is inspired by and in memory of Marilyn Sholl, Gordy Chatterton, and Kathleen O'Donovan. These beautiful souls now live in the heavens and continue to guide us as they live in the hearts of our community.
