SUNDAY MIDDAY SERVICES, 12:30 p.m.

• Sunday, May 4 at 12:30 p.m..
  Beltaine Service and Ritual
  
  Beltaine, celebrated on May 1, is primarily a fire and
  fertility festival. Marking the beginning of the Summer
  and the light half of the year under the guiding hand of the
  Goddess, the day is celebrated in merriment and the dance
  around the Maypole. We will meet indoors or out, weather
  depending. Please dress for the weather, and bring drums,
  musical and/or percussion instruments and a chair to use
  outdoors.
  
  Worship Leader: Rebekah Benner

  To Bless the Space Between Us
  
  Join us for traditional and non-traditional blessings on a
  myriad of subjects, as we look at the importance of the
  blessing as mode of prayer and as an utterance of energetic
  significance. Poet and philosopher John O'Donohue, who
  died suddenly in January, reminded us that when we wish
  blessings on others, we create a vibrational message of
  love that reverberates farther than we can imagine.
  Included in this service will be a blessing for the many
  ways each of us exemplifies Mother Energy, in honor of
  Mother's Day. We are delighted to be joined again by Trish
  McLoughlin, who will bless the space between us with her
  traditional Celtic music.

  Healing Gathering:
  Group Meditation, Prayer and Healing
  
  Group prayer and meditation will be followed by a
  time when individuals may receive the loving touch of
  Reiki practitioners and other energy workers for the
  healing of body, mind and spirit. If you are not able to
  attend, please feel free to stop by and leave the name
  of any people who might wish to receive such energy.
  
  
  
• In the spirit of the Midday Service and its emphasis
  on offering a variety of worship experiences, some
  new options for worship will be offered during the
  12:30 hour this fall. An open Small Group
  Ministry session, a Healing Service, and a UU
  Christian Communion service will start this month.
  In addition, a Music Worship involving guest
  musicians and some theatrical presentations will
  begin in October. Please check the website, the
  Reporter, or Memoranduum for future service
  descriptions.
