Birther of Radiance and Vibration

Birther of Radiance and Vibration

With summer in full swing and the garden looking great, we continue with the theme of prayer and taking a closer look at sound and its potential healing power. There are songs and even certain frequencies that are both ancient and new to explore. This week we will be exploring and experiencing together the healing powers of music and sound as it relates to prayer.

The Lord’s Prayer (Aramaic)

O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration, soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.

John 1

The Word Became Flesh

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.

There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. 

In Faith,

Rev. Dave

Drums!

Sundays are warm in the Garden these days but with the help of our easy up shades, it hasn’t been too hot yet! We sweat during Work Together at 3pm. We cool off in the shade during Worship at 4pm. By 5pm the temperature at Eat Together time has been perfect.

Our Sermon Series on Prayer continues… We have been a part of The Prayer that Jesus taught us, deeply listening to Rev. Amanda and Rev. Dave, take it piece by piece and have grown in understanding appreciation of “The Our Father” for 5 weeks. Now we are transitioning to what else prayer can be. How do you pray? Every faith tradition has their way. Every individual has their way.

Some may be looking for new ways. Since drums are special to me, the Reverends thought I could explore how drumming could be a new way to pray for us! But it is not new, drums are part of Judeo Christianity, drums are in the bible. Anything can be a drum. In Psalm 81 God appeals to a stubborn Israel. In Psalm 149 there is praise for God’s goodness to Israel. In Psalm 150 there is praise for God’s surpassing greatness. I will bring drums, the sermon will be interactive. Let’s do it, don’t be shy. Come to the Drum Circle of Prayer!

In Faith,

Pastor Connie

“All the Glory”

Summer is in full swing in the garden, between the warm weather and the new garden intern from EXP it feels like summer has arrived. 

This past week, we made the cover of local Peninsula Magazine You can read the story online here (or watch the YouTube of the story!). As part of the move into summer, TGC is going to try out a book club starting later this month. The 1st book is: Saving Us: A Climate Scientists Guide Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World. by Katharine Hahoe. Details on meeting times and location below.
On Sunday we will continue our sermon series on prayer, by concluding the Lord’s Prayer focusing on the section “For yours is the kin-dom, and the power and the glory forever” We hope you can join us as we spend time thinking about the blessing of the Lord’s Prayer.
In Faith,

Rev. Amanda
