  NEXT SUNDAY
June 14,2015
10:30am-11:30am
The Spiritual Practice of Encountering Others
with
Rev. Ron Moor
along with vocalist Meg Miura
and guitarist David Chapman
How many people have you truly "encountered" in your life? To encounter another means that there is something about the experience that is unexpected, difficult or challenging that often results in changing you in some way. It can also mean that you "see" the other person as they really are, not some projection you have placed on them. Some say that when that happens, you experience the face of the divine. But then, that would change you too. In this service, we will explore the opportunity these types of encounters with others can bring.
"The hardest spiritual work in the world is to love thy neighbor as the self- to encounter another human being not as someone you can use, change, fix, help, save, enroll, convince or control, but simply as someone who can spring you from the prison of yourself, if you will allow it." ~ Barbara Brown Taylor

 LAST SUNDAY
May 31, 2015
 Getting Lost in the Child Side with
Shannon Dufresne, LilyAnn Dufresne Holden, the Children from Kids With Spirit, Rev. Ron Moor and musician Amanda Grace
The children led us in an opportunity to experience their play. We laughed and smiled together and brought joy into our hearts. Ron blessed the children. And, musician Amanda Grace, along with her family, brought to us her music from the heart reminding us of children's wisdom and to be playful as we walk through life. This was an experiential service as we played with a parachute. So, as you listen, you will hear some words, music and laughter. Listen by clicking here.
