HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2014

Year of the Horse

Chinese view "Year of the Horse" as a time to avoid any wild impulse to gallop a head. Rather it is a time to slow down and take a more conservative approach to decisions. Chinese New Year is the time to celebrate health, happiness and prosperity.

Artist Valerie Freeman

We create our own good fortune by understanding how the eternal substance which FOREVER FLOWS and is forever manifesting itself in the visible world.

We should endeavor to know that there is an Intelligence guiding our affairs, and that this Intelligence is perfect, the law of this Intelligence is immutable.

As we withdraw our attention from the limited world of effects and dwell unwaveringly on the Limitless Good, we shall have destroyed the only reason whereby lack and limitation could manifest in our lives.

Ernest Holmes

SAVE WATER - PRAY FOR RAIN

New Community Service Project **

The Ojai Valley uses 125 million gallons of water DAILY. We can all conserve water while praying for rain.

PRIORITY TIP #1: TURN OFF THE WATER

When doing dishes, brushing your teeth, turn off the water by using a container of water - a cup, a bowl.

Take a 3-5 min. shower; turn off the water while washing your hair; don't use the bathtub.

We have no outside water source as many other Southern California communities do. We can all conserve the little water we have. If you want to serve on this TASK FORCE, please contact Rev. Marilyn Miller at revmarilynmiller@yahoo.com
