Sunday’s lesson is

The Boggart in the Wardrobe

Our newfound spiritual powers are exciting and creative. But before we put them fully to use, we must dissolve every preconception – and face every fear. The process is often painful, but the rewards are always great.

·         A Great Big “Thank You” to everyone who helped with food, set-up, grilling, and clean-up at the picnic last Sunday. Even though Mother Nature insisted on rain, we showed that our spirits could not be dampened. It was a lot of fun and we're looking forward to next year's picnic.
