Speaker: Steven Starks * Leo Plomin
Topic: Serenity Farm
There is an immediate need for assistance to those just
released from jail or prison. This is even more true for
the newly released sex offender. Our purpose is to
reduce the rate of recidivism for sex offenders by
offering a comprehensive set of services to those who
fit our Profile for entry, and choose to stay with us.
This will make it less likely that they will re-offend or
be re-incarcerated and that they will be contributing
members of Society.

Speaker: Rev. D. Charles Davis
Topic: Walking Up the Stairway at Night
Life brings Uncertainty, Sometimes we take risk and we
do not know the outcome. Paul of Tarsus wrote that
faith is the substance of things hoped for. What helps
you step towards your hopes?
Sunday, January 7th, 9:00AM, Forum
Speaker: Frank Rosenthal
Topic: Averting War with North Korea
A shocking 46% of Republicans and 16% pf
Democrats would support a pre-emptive military
strike against North Korea. These numbers will likely
increase as North Korea carries out more weapons
tests and Donald Trump and others make aggressive
statements about containing a supposed threat from
North Korea. Such a strike could easily lead to a
chain events resulting in millions, if not tens of
millions or hundreds of millions of deaths. It would
jeopardize, rather than protect, the security of
Americans.
Sunday, January 7th, 10:30AM, Service
Speaker: Rev. D. Charles Davis
Topic: The Risk of Direct Conversation
A review of the congregation's Covenant for Healthy
Community. As the congregation faces transition We
will need to have frank conversations about how we
could have done things better in the past so that we
are able to do thing better in the future. The goal is
not to find someone to blame but to find a way to get
unstuck and move forward with respect and kindness.

Good bits of wisdom from the animal kingdom:
From a dolphin... have a playful spirit
From a puffin... always bring enough to share
From a spider... make good connections
From a whale... remember to come up for air
From a blue bird... the sky’s the limit
From an elephant... be gentle, no matter your size
From a lady bug... spend time in the garden
From a rabbit... know when to be still
