Pastor's Letter

Dear Friends,
We pray you are safe and well. In the spirit of our philosophy of co-creating community and our awareness that the Spirit speaks through each of us, we invite you to share your meditations with us as well. We truly believe that in God’s economy of abundance, when we share our blessings, our thoughts, our feelings, we are all made richer.
Today’s meditation is a dance—you might recognize Christine Tardiff who danced at Jean’s Ordination as Bishop and at other times for our community. She sent this along to us and invited us to share it. Peaceful blessings on yooou as you dance through your day. Moving Our Prayers! "My World Needs You" Dance of Intercession!!
We hope and pray that you and your loved ones experience genuine peace of mind and heart, and remain in good health during this challenging time.
May the Easter Season be a time of peace, of healing and hope, of the resurrection of joy in your life!
With our love and care,
Ron & Jean

Today’s meditation is a song that was played at a prayer service I (Jean) participated in yesterday for a women bishop who is facing surgery this week. The song is called The Beauty of the Dancer by Sara Thomsen. I found it to be lovely and healing and we share it with you today for your reflection. May it bring you peace! https://youtu.be/Lax7fxdOnVU

Today’s meditation is written by the Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (July 12, 1904–September 23, 1973) — “one of humanity’s furthest-seeing and lushest-minded artists wrote this love-letter to earth’s forests.”
We hope and pray that you and your loved ones experience genuine peace of mind and heart, and remain in good health during this challenging time.
