Posted in Fundraising, Communication at 5:14 pm by Shari

Calling all cooks! Show off your talents at our first annual summer cook-off contest. Whip up your favorite recipe, enough for 8-10 people, and bring it on down to the Wednesday night dinner on July 30. There will be three categories: main dish/entree, salad/side dish and of course, dessert! And yes, you can enter one or all categories…. think Triple Crown.

We need to have all entries registered by July 20. Please contact Shari Tisch or email the fundraising committee. See you there. Yum yum!

Adult RE: A Course in Miracles

Posted in Adult Religious Education at 3:09 pm by Cynthia

Thursday evenings in the Meditation Room, 7- 8:30 p.m. A Course in Miracles is a spiritual path whose foundation is forgiveness - overlooking in another what never really happened. As we practice forgiveness, we experience the world as a classroom and learn that we are not separate from God, that our guilt and fears are baseless. In this class, led by Jerry Rossman, we will focus on text readings and workbook lessons; we will discuss their practical application in life and share our insights and miracles as a result of studying this Wisdom. All materials will be provided. Newcomers are welcome; each class is open and self-contained, so previous attendance is not necessary. Child care is available. For further information, please call Jerry @ 662-6277 or write to selden1942@aol.com.
