She will share information about MNIPL projects, programs and ways faith communities can get involved.
Bob Gubrud will discuss initiatives from the Edina Energy and Environment Commission designed to engage residents in helpful actions on the issues of climate change. He will bring his knowledge as a Co-Chair Commissioner of the Edina Energy and Environment Commission's Education and Outreach Working Group and as a member of the Community Solar Subcommittee.

 LAST SUNDAY  April 10, 2016
Service of Healing and Meditation
hosted by
Rev. Ron Moor 
and musician
Lynn O'Brien
along with
Energy Healers
from the Community
The healing energy of the day was invited to go deep within each of us - to that place, the inner alter inside. We walked the labyrinth, meditated, lit prayer candles and invited healing energy to align our heads, hearts, and souls with the Divine.
This event has yet to be posted on our website and may not depending upon the flow of the service. It is experiential rather than informational.

MYSTERY SCHOOL SUNDAY
April 24, 2016
10:30am-11:30am
Body Surfing the Cosmos
with Rev. Ron Moor
 and
Sacred Dance
with Saleem Adam Wolter
Are you a spiritual being having a physical experience or a physical being having an occasional spiritual experience? Or something else all together? And just why are we humans here at all? Does universe even need us? Is Stephen Hawking just plain wrong?
The New Story that is emerging has some very intriguing ideas about all this, ideas that might just help you leave the old story behind. With luminous images, inspiring quotes, sacred chant and sacred dance with Saleem Adam Wolter.
"There is something that exists apart from ourselves, and we play a vital part in bringing it into being."
~ Lain McGilchrist

EVERY WEDNESDAY  The Tao of Meditation Class with Rev. Ron Moor EVERY Wednesday, except holidays 10:00am-11:30am $10-$15 suggested donation Deepen your meditative practice, or begin one by joining us on Wednesday mornings. Our weekly gathering is to read, meditate and dialog on the profound wisdom found in the 2500 year-old text of "The Tao TeChing." These 81 short, poetic sayings have offered relief, gentle guidance, and a pathway to inner peace for countless millions of people.
Each week we will begin with a few minutes of breath work to deepen our focus, read one of the sayings, and then bring these ancient words into a 30-minute silent meditation. Following the meditation we will join in an open discussion of the meaning as it relates to our lives today. Part of our discussion will also be about how to deepen our practice of silence and stillness.

A Special Movie Night 
featuring
The Way
hosted by Sue Arnold
Friday, April 22, 2016
7:30pm
$10 suggested donation for Spirit United
We will watch the feature film The Way staring Martin Sheen. Our host is Sue Arnold who made the same pilgrimage the movie portrays. She will add her comments during the movie, sharing her experiences along the way and particularly at the locations featured in the movie. All funds go to Spirit United as we together experience our community transformation in this time of change, challenge, and transition to our new home.
THE WAY is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to France to deal with the tragic loss of his son (played by Emilio Estevez). Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage "The Way of St. James" to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't plan on is the  profound impact this trip will have on him. Through unexpected and oftentimes amusing experiences along "The Way," Tom discovers the difference between "the life we live and the life we choose." Sheen's son Emilio Estevez wrote, directed and produced this film.
