Reading Group Starts September 1
A new Wednesday evening Swedenborgian reading/theology/discussion group will begin Wednesday, September 1, with an organizational meeting about a subject or book to study together, and frequency of meetings. Meeting time will be 7:00-9:00pm in the Parish House. Contact Ariana Corbitt for more information at arianaofaurelia@gmail.com.
Thursday Night Music & Meditation
First gathering: Thursday Sept. 9th, 7:00-8:00pm
Thereafter: First Thursday of the month (Oct. 7th; Nov. 4th; etc.)
Come spend a restful hour in the sanctuary, with quiet meditative music conducive to silent prayer, reflection, and calm. Though not a meditation class, we will sit quietly and listen to recorded music amidst the low candlelight – while also accepting the extraneous sounds of the urban setting we live in. Peaceful music, and our peaceful sanctuary, will help create the inner space for us to be still, rest, and recharge our spirits. If you like, bring a cushion if you would like to sit on the floor.
Any questions, please contact Tom McEntee at: motjoue@gmail.com or 650-515-6073

Helping the Homeless
Please keep the Rev. Megan Rohrer, executive director of Welcome Ministry, and her ministry, in mind, by bringing personal grooming items (like the little shampoos and stuff you get free in hotels) as their supply is almost gone and the numbers of people at the Saturday Community Dinners is increasing. Please bring your soaps, shampoos, toothpaste and toothbrushes and all those personal grooming items you collect during your travels. Ask family members, co-workers, and friends who keep a “secret stash” of these, and ask them to share them for a good cause. Plus, there is always a need for new socks (plain white tube socks) and underwear (men's underwear in a variety of sizes.) You can drop the items off in the wicker basket in the Parish House on Sundays, or during the week. Let's fill it, so we can make another delivery to Rev Megan Rohrer at Welcome Ministry (http://www.welcomeministry.org/).
On-Line Prayer Community
Our congregation has an on-line prayer
community. Our minister receives
prayer requests and shares them with the on-line prayer community, which
offers their prayers. If you would like to be a part of this prayer group, and/or if
you have a prayer request, please email Rev. Jeff at
revjeff@sfswedenborgian.org.
