this any way to talk about religion? Maybe
you yearn for an open-minded, spiritual community where people respect each other’s
beliefs and worship together as one faith . . . Where

This
Sunday's Service May
17th 1 p.m. SPECIAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING In
the Sanctuary
"The time has come...to talk of many things." We are at a turning point
in the life of our congregation, a crossroads, and we have an opportunity to make
conscious and intentional decisions about who we are and where we're going.
Such times are rarely easy, yet when engaged with honesty, courage, and love they
are invariably magically transformative. So let's take seriously our call
to mutual ministry, our collective ownership of this community, and let's bravely
step into the water together. On Saturday, May 17th at 1 p.m. there will
be a special congregational meeting to continue the conversation our ordained
clergy have begun, looking at who we are, where we are, and where we want to be
going. ALL of our voices are needed, and even those who feel they have "nothing
to say" are needed as active listeners. As the Rumi poem, turned hymn, says,
"Come, come whoever you are." Each of us is needed; all of us are valued; come,
yet again, come.
May 18th
9 & 11 Tending
the Garden
Rev. Erik Wikstrom
Not only has spring sprung so that many of us are in
our actual gardens, but "tending the garden of the soul" is also used by nearly
every religious tradition as an alternative to the image of the spiritual life
as a "journey." It's
also an apt description of what we here need to do. Following on the sermons
of April 20th and 27th, and the Congregational Meeting yesterday, we'll look more
closely at what we need to do to keep the garden of FPB healthy and strong. Back
