It's SPRING. Time To Try New Things

 

God is forever doing new things, and when we conceive new ideas, it is an act of the Divine projecting Itself into Creation. There were no flying machines until man made them. The Spirit did not have a lot of little flying machine models put away in a cosmic cupboard somewhere. But the mind that conceived the Possibility of the flying machines is GOD. The mind we use is the Mind of the Universe.

The Essential Ernest, Ernest Holmes

 

There is within each of us, deep within our core, a desire to be more, do more, seek more. It's an evolutionary imperative that we seek new horizons. With Spring moving into full bloom all around us, NOW is a good Time to begin.

SAVE WATER - GIVE THANKS FOR RAIN

New Community Service Project  

 

 

Rain Dancer

 

There are families in Ojai now whose wells are running dry, and there is little water for daily use. Lake Casitas is at 60% capacity, and our annual snowpack in California is at 12% of normal. There is an URGENT need for us all to save water.

 

How Much WATER Can YOU Save ???

PRIORITY TIPS to Conserve WATER

  1. The biggest use of indoor water is the toilet. Put an empty wine bottle in your tank to use less water, consider a low flow toilet, flush less often.
  2. Do you need a bath every day? Sponge baths work too. Can you take a 5-minute shower? You can get just as clean.

Pray Rain

When Native Americans do a rain dance, they become the rain, they feel it, see, even their chants sound like rain. We can all pray rain feeling the rain is happening NOW!!!

 

Great news, the Ventura Interfaith Ministerial Association - VIMA has agreed to circulate our bulletin insert: Save Water/Pray Rain among their many different faiths. Rev. Marilyn attended their monthly meeting, and received complete support.
