Fun at the Museum
Saturday, February 27th, 2010Rock climbing fun
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
The Rock Climbing party for 3rd-6th graders was fun for all who attended. In fact, we had children as young as 4 years old and parents up on the walls. Thank you to all who attended.
The next party for children in Religious Education is this Saturday, February 27th 3-5pm at the Hands On Childrens Museum. Recommended for children preschool-2nd grade, but siblings are always welcome.
Chocolate Communion
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010This Sunday is an Intergenerational service, featuring our annual tradition of a chocolate communion to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Please come, and bring the kids, to participate in this service. The children will be decorating and handing out hearts to the whole congregation. In fact, I need two parent volunteers at each service to help the kids do the hearts while I tell the story.
This service is always a treat for all the senses, with smell, taste, and sound (musical guests!).
Hope to see you on Sunday,
Sara Lewis, DRE

We set foot, and hand, in our new space
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Within the circles of our lives
we dance the circles of the years
the circles of the seasons
within the circles of the years,
the cycles of the moon
within the circles of the seasons,
the circles of our reasons
within the cycles of the moon.
Again, again we come and go,
changed, changing. Hands
join, unjoin in love and fear,
grief and joy. The circles turn,
each giving into each, into all.
Only music keeps us here,
each by all the others.
In the hold of hands and eyes
we turn in pairs, that joining
joining each to all again.
And then we turn aside, alone,
out of the sunlight gone
into the darker circles of return.
