Mother’s Day Sunday May 13, 2012

Dear Friends,
I hope you will join us for worship this Sunday. We have as our guest preacher the Rev. Wendy Taylor, joined by her partner Ellen Sweetin (pictured right). I’ve known Wendy for about 25 years- our time in seminary overlapped, and she was also the pastor of the MCC in Marin County at that time. In fact, she and her partner, who was a nun at that time, met in the PSR chapel during orientation almost 30 years ago. She is here to speak about her work with migrant farm workers in Southern San Mateo County, which she did for, many years, after having pastored the Belmont UCC church. She was the first out lesbian pastor in the Northern California Conference of the UCC. Wendy has always been a person of incredible integrity, and her testimony is one that will motivate all of us to action I just heard her speak and I can testify that her down to earth manner of speaking will engage you. You can read about her ministry in her new book No Longer Strangers: The Practice of Radical Hospitality (Facebook). You can read about the ministry she started at www.mypuente.org
We will also celebrate Mother’s Day! If you are a mother by your own definition, we want to celebrate you! Please come! If your mother lives in the area, bring her! We will also remember mothers who have died. You are welcome to bring photos or tokens of remembrance if you like.
This Sunday will blend spirituality, remembrance, gratitude, and social action- a classic New Spirit mix- and I hope you’ll join us.
Warmly,
Jim

New Spirit Offices are Moving Sat. May 19th, 9:00 am
As we all know, moving is a challenge. However, it goes a lot better if friends all help together. There will be an all day event that will take us from our current offices to our new offices in the cottage across the street near the PSR parking lot at 1730 Scenic Ave. It is behind all the trees from the street, or down the ramp from the parking lot.
Please help in any way you can. Volunteers are needed, but you can also lend a van or pick-up, wheel barrow, and big & small dollies. If the spirit is willing but the body weak, and you are able to make a donation, we could hire helpers to assist with the move. If you have ever moved a piano, let us know. We can also use help in sorting out the NSCC archives. If cooking is your specialty, the hungry, tired gang would certainly appreciate food & beverage during breaks.
