Tomorrow during worship we will be celebrating marvelous moms and all those who make God’s loving spirit manifest in our lives. Highlights will include a liturgical dance that will accompany the choir’s singing of “I Was There to Hear Your Borning Cry” and John Woolley singing Leonard Bernstein’s “Simple Song.” The sermon will share stories and reflections on the gifts marvelous moms give their children. It will also talk about the gifts mothers can receive in return.

Dear Church Family and Friends,
About a month ago, Eunita and I made a delightful discovery: our dog Joey makes Danalyn laugh—uncontrollably so. When Joey pounces on a toy, shakes a stuffed animal in his mouth, or chases his tail—these are all occasions for bursts of guttural guffaws. As you might expect, Danalyn’s entertainment makes for our entertainment. An additional benefit is that Joey has also proven himself to be a good distraction amid bouts of fussing and crying—Danalyn’s that is. When all else fails, I try Joey, and the results are almost always good.

Do you ever think about where your food comes from? Do you think about how your strawberries are picked or how a hamburger patty is made? These are the kinds of questions raised by mindful eating, and they are questions that can have a profound impact on our lifestyles and spirituality. On May 6th at 11:15 am, you are invited to a mindful eating potluck and movie screening. For the potluck, we are inviting people to bring a dish and to write down on a card or piece of paper, as best as you are able, the different geographical locations from which its ingredients come. For the movie, we will be watching Food, Inc., a film that exposes the often hidden origins of our food and how it is made.
