Take the Challenge
For the month of September, please join us in our loose change challenge. It is very simple. Set your favorite coffee mug out in a convenient place and when you find you have loose change, put it in your mug.
On the weekend of September 29/30, bring your mug to church and take pleasure in dumping it into a bucket with everyone else’s change. This will, of course, benefit the Squirrels’ Nest Reserve which comes in very handy to help us with unexpected expenses and helps us to stay on budget.
We thank you in advance for your generosity.
CONTEMPLATIVE GROUP
CONTEMPLATIVE GROUP will meet this Wednesday, September 19 at 10 a.m. in the Conference Room. Following our time for contemplation we will continue with Fr. Richard Rohr’s teaching on “Stages of Consciousness”.

New Testament scholar, Amy-Jill Levine will analyze and illuminate Jesus’ parables, helping us to understand how the people in Jesus’ time would have understood these parables.
