A quote from March’s Soul Matter theme of Transformation reminded me of the milk weed pods that were hanging from a section of our garden fence. I know not where they came from as I have yet to find any plants from seeds I planted a couple of years ago. But, there they were, a trip down memory lane from when their silk blew along every country lane I walked as a kid in Ohio. Much has changed since then in my internal and external worlds but my joy and amazement of the resilience of plant life remains.

Soup Sundays continue. Our next one will be Sunday, April 28th. Our annual Service and Goods auction also returns with online bidding starting on April 28th. We will have a sit-down dinner on Saturday, May 4th followed by live auction bidding. Come see the competitive side of folks. You will have time to place any last minute online bids after the live auction, since online bidding ends Monday, May 6th. Your donations are needed to make this event a success. It is our main fund raiser. Please see details elsewhere in this newsletter. Our congregation relies on our members and friends volunteering. If you are new to our community, I encourage you to help at a workday or with a Soup Sunday. These are short-term commitments. Additionally, please do explore various committees, classes, and groups. We have something for everyone.

The congregation’s board meets on the second Wednesday at 6:30 pm in Drysdale Hall. If you have business for us to consider or you wish to attend, please let me know at betty.corbin@protonmail.com.

Blessed be,
Betty Corbin, President
