SILENT SANCTUARY
 

Do you enjoy the aroma of candles? Do you enjoy the setting sun through stained glass windows? Do you like watching the flickering of candlelight against the darkness? Do you like the thought of quiet meditation/prayer? 

  
Please feel free to join Skylar Seward tonight
and every Friday evening at 7:00 pm. for a quiet,"soul refreshing" time of renewal.  Stay for 10 minutes, an hour or even two...whatever you need.  Hope to see you there. 
  
ALL are WELCOME! 

 

Thank you from Ann Elliot

Shower of Stoles at MTSO   

                

An Extraordinary Collection comes to MTSO. Showing Now Until May 20, 2014. 
  
The Shower of Stoles is a collection of over a thousand liturgical stoles and other sacred items representing the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender... people of faith. These religious leaders have served in thirty-two denominations and faith traditions, in six countries, and on three continents. Each stole contains the story of a GLBT person who is active in the life and leadership of their faith community in some way: minister, elder, deacon, teacher, missionary, musician, administrator, or active layperson.  The exhibit is free and open to the public. It is located between the Dickhaut Library and the Alford Centrum on MTSO's campus. The area is open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m daily.

Dear Jon,

Please pass along to Melissa, Phyllis, Chris and the others our heartfelt thanks for preparing, serving and cleaning up for our Getting Ahead dinner last evening.  I heard so many compliments from the class members and know firsthand how delicious it was.

We truly appreciate your help and support!  Healing prayers for Melissa!
