Spiritual Peace  (02/25/24)

Given that this week's message concerns what it means to be a peacemaker,  was delighted to be reminded of this passage from the work Secrets of Heaven -

"Be it known that the Divine Providence is universal, that is, in things the most minute.  They who are in the stream of Providence are all the time carried along toward everything that is happy, whatever may be the appearance of the means.  

Those are in the stream of Providence who put their trust in the Divine and attribute all things [thereto].  Those are not in the stream of Providence who trust in themselves alone and attribute all things to themselves, because they are in the opposite, for they take away providence from the Divine and claim it for themselves. 

Be it known also that in so far as anyone is in the stream of Providence, so far they are in a state of peace; also that in so far as anyone is in a state of peace from the good of faith, so far they are in the Divine Providence. 

These alone know and believe that the Divine Providence of the Lord is in everything both in general and in particular.  Indeed, it is in the most minute things of all, for the Divine Providence regards what is eternal" (Swedenborg, Secrets of Heaven 8478:4).

Announcements (For: 02/25/24)

Mountain Camp Lunch (03/03/24)

Its that time again!  We need your support for this year's summer Arizona Mountain Camp to be a success.  Come share lunch and fellowship after church & donate (if you can) to a worthy cause!

Church Work Party

We are proposing a Church Work Party to clean up our property and space (in preparation for our Easter gathering at the end of the month).  We are scheduling this for March 23rd, from 9-12am.  Look for details in upcoming newsletter announcements.

Supporting Friendship Hall Refreshments 
One of the reasons we have renewed discussion about how to handle refreshments after church is about how to resource them.  Thanks to the SRC Women 's Guild (and generous individuals), we have been able to keep the program going with little interruption - ...but those days are numbered.  Please consider what you might be able to give (at any amount) when you come to lunch to support such an important use to our Community! 

Easter Season Event (3/31/24):  We will host the public dedication of our Family Activity Center and our Easter celebration (featuring a potluck and then egg hunt for families) on the same day! 

"Off the Left Eye" Class:

Class will resume this week on February 27th at 1pm in the Chapel, with Sue Carr.  The subject "Bible prophecy -  What is (and isn't) its relationship to current conflicts in Biblical lands?" 

BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEKEND!  

Your church home for partnering with the Lord and each other in helping people experience heavenly joy through spiritual growth!
