Rachel Lino created this event in 2004; now Melody Berryman leads it annually. It began with an honoring of our children as they cross a ceremonial bridge from one age‐group Sunday class to the

next. In recent years it has grown to where to those of any age who wish to acknowledge and ritualize a significant life‐passage,

are invited to come cross the bridge during the Sunday celebration. Plus, there’s special music, and an honoring of our

children’s teachers and our youth minister!

See page 8 for details on a course designed to create a bonded community of people cheering each other on into living the life designed in dreams. Make sure you find out about Prosperity Plus so you’ll know what the new buzz is all about. Starting the afternoon of SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, and led by minister Marsha Leh‐man and practitioner David Dewhurst, it is an experience you will not want to miss.

Sunday morning Sunday morning Sunday morning meditationmeditationmeditation

“...Sit and rest and refresh your soul.

Eat of the fruit and drink the wine. All, all is yours, and you are welcome.”

—The Science of Mind text

The Sunday morning meditation is actually an awesome extra to Sunday celebrations. Led by practitioner Malené Njeri, it lasts for 35 minutes,

ending in time to comfortably get into the 11am celebration. There is music to enhance as you are guided into a restful state, and inspirational readings to tap into your spiritual center. Most sessions will end with a spiritual mind treatment based on the theme of the readings. Don’t be concerned about being late. There is an easy way to quickly get into the flow. Stand a moment outside the door and bring yourself to complete silence. Maintain that silence as you enter. You’ll find yourself suddenly present in the meditation and all is well. SUNDAYS 10:15‐10:50AM, in the Hopkins Room, upstairs in the Learning Center.

Our commitment to the Montgomery County Food Bank’s Buddy Backpack program is again to feed 15 young students every weekend throughout the school year. These kids are selected by their schools as having this need, and every Friday they go home with a backpack discreetly filled with specially selected food to last them the weekend. Then they returned the empty back‐pack to school on Monday, for the process to repeat itself. We are accumulating funds as we launch this school year’s service, as well as recruiting other faith communities into this project. There are several ways you can help: by donating cash or WalMart cards (only ‐‐ no checks, please, or ge‐neric gift cards); by working to assemble the food we purchase for delivery to the Food Bank; and by assisting on the delivery team to the Food Bank. Please be clear, we do not need you to bring food items, which must be purchased according to a very specific protocol, and we have a team to do that. But your

donations of cash or WalMart cards are most appreciated. Our program co‐coordinators are Carol Stromatt and Alline Dawson. With any questions, or to volunteer, please e‐mail cstromatt@gdcrealty.comcstromatt@gdcrealty.comcstromatt@gdcrealty.com
