For this month's lay-led Last Sunday service we will first lament and then learn psychological and spiritual tips to ground ourselves when the pain of the world seeps in. Our second offering will be for the Oregon Food Bank as it loses federal resources. Join us as we draw strength from each other and celebrate our unity in the risen Christ.

This service will be followed by a community potluck from 9:45-10:30.

This Wednesday, Deri Bash will reflect upon his own Lenten practices and the seeds of hope and justice that have been placed on his heart. After the service, join us for an optional 30-minute small group conversation on the theme.

Every Tuesday morning from 7-9 am our sanctuary is reserved for a morning of contemplation, just silence for your own prayer, reading, and reflection. In our personal dwellings, we might set aside a special space to encounter the beloved. Our entire community also has such a space, in the Harbor...

…“We are one” Jesus, and others have taught us. Not just a cute saying to rally the crowds. Rather a profound teaching on interconnectedness from mystical giants. Hurting you, hurts others, hurts me. We are not capable of acting alone. Quantum physicists have now concretely shown that a person cannot have a single thought, without instantly and permanently changing the universe. When one member prays in the Harbor, in a very real sense, our entire community is praying. Join us to see what all the noise is about—basking, sharing, connecting with Creation, in Creation's native tongue—Silence. 

Enter the sanctuary through the west door (one nearest the front parking lot) and follow the signs. Sanctuary seating is available or bring your own contemplation gear.

With joy and gratitude, we celebrate all the Catholic priests who have served us over the last 39 years. There will be a worship service at 10:45 am, followed by a luncheon to share memories, stories, and blessings as we share a meal together.

How can you help?

• Please bring a salad or dessert (main dish will be provided). 

• Write notes of appreciation for the priests.

• Send photos to Director Vinci for a slideshow.

• Contribute to a monetary gift for our priests through our donation page (under "Special Appeals" type in "Priest Celebration") or write it in the memo line of your check.

In preparation for Lent, we'll discuss the ten values Indigenous people use to live a life that brings well-being to humans and to the earth as outlined in Randy & Edith Woodley's book Journey to Eloheh: How Indigenous Values Lead Us to Harmony and Well-Being. We’ll meet on Zoom on January 29, February 5, and 12 (an optional session on February 19 will weave together our learnings.) Please consider purchasing the book from a local bookstore (or requesting the last free copy from Don.) To sign up contact Don Manghelli.
