Happy Thanksgiving! I hope to see you at our wonderful Gratitude Celebration this Sunday at the Symphony of Life. The sanctuary will be lit up with our heart-felt appreciation as we express all the wonderful things for which we are so very grateful. Do you know what happens when you express that kind of gratitude in your daily life.........you have more to be grateful for; so this Sunday, we are going to be building our gratitude bank account! Do join us for this joyous celebration!

 

In love and peace,

Rev. Karen Wylie

Gratitude and Appreciation

Our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation go to Jami and Suzi Lula for their wonderful presentation this past Sunday, "Prosperity: It's Your Birthright." We were gifted with a wonderful talk by Suzi and great music by Jami. In addition, the two of them facilitated an inspirational workshop for us. Thanks also to Robert MacNeal who provided the wonderful food before the workshop. Below are some pictures of Jami and Suzi in action. How grateful I am for their generosity and giving natures!

On December 2, we will be holding our Annual Meeting in the sanctuary right after service along with our Holiday Potluck Party. We invite everyone to bring a favorite dish to share. We will give you a rundown on where we stand financially as a growing community, present the budget for 2013 and vote on the Board members for the upcoming year. Your participation is always particularly important at these meetings! In addition, the food will be great!

 

Symphony of Life Holiday Book Club Meeting  

Our next Symphony of Life Book Club meeting will be at the home of Tiese and Bob Quinn, 701 Foothill Road, Friday, December 14, at 7:00 p.m. We will be discussing our current book selection, Night Woods, by Charles Frazier. Dessert will be served. Bring a wrapped book for our holiday book exchange and a blanket (outdoor fire pit??). Contact Peggie Williamson, (805) 640-2450 for more information.

 

Symphony of Life Free Spiritual Cinema

Our November Spiritual Cinema Night will feature Healing: Miracles, Mysteries, and John of God, a documentary on the profound spiritual healing work that takes place at "the Casa," the sanctuary where Joao de Deus, or "John of God," has been the channel for healing hundreds of thousands of people.

 

This award-winning documentary by director David Unterberg takes viewers inside the walls of the Casa to witness physical and spiritual healings that transcend conventional medical understanding, and asks us to re-examine fundamental questions about life, faith and our interaction with the spiritual world.

 

The screening will take place on Friday, November 30, at Casa de La Luna, 710 S. La Luna Ave. in Ojai. Doors open at 6:30 and the movie begins at 7:00 p.m. Although the event is free, donations are gratefully accepted and go to Casa de La Luna Retreat for their gracious hosting of the event. There is parking on the property.

 

Rev. Karen Wylie, who has been to John of God, will lead the discussion that follows the screening. All who have visited the Casa are invited to attend and share their experiences.

THE SURPRISE HOLIDAY BASKET BRIGADE will be held one evening in mid-December around 7-7:30 p.m. at Ojai's homeless shelter. Since there are only 40 residents maximum and it's a small space, the participants for event this year will be limited. The plan is for Ojai children to deliver the gifts personally (accompanied by their parent or parents). The hope is to have our local children feel the joy of giving.   If you are interested in having your children participate, contact Justine Wynn at Justine@justinewynn.com.

 

The organizers are already planning to deliver four items to each resident (a drawstring backpack, small tin of butter cookies, gloves, and a holiday character). They welcome any individual or family who wishes to make an additional donation toward an item on the wish list (socks, warm hats, toiletries, etc.). You can contact Justine Wynn regarding other suggestions.
