Yes! - the new HVAC system installation is
COMPLETE!
Now we could use some help cleaning up and re-organizing. The construction
workers will do the heavy work. We need volunteers to do the fine details. Dusting will be a top priority.
This is the perfect opportunity for high school and college students to rack up
some community service hours!
All are welcome to join us this

Spirituality Film Series
Today
Today, Sunday, December. 14,
from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Sheil will host
a discussion of the second film in
the "Considering the Spiritual" film
series. The event will be for discussion only.
Participants will need to have seen the
film before coming to the discussion.
Discussion is open to all participants.
The film is Carl Dreyer's 1926
"The Passion of Joan of Arc," considered by virtually all film critics
one of the greatest films ever made.
The film is b&w and silent. It is
intense and visually brilliant. The
film is even available in its entirety on
YouTube. Just google the title. But
we recommend getting a DVD or Blu
Ray and watching it on a big screen.
Hosts for the discussion are Lisa &
Alan Fortini-Campbell and Mel Livatino. If you have questions or want to
reserve a space at the first discussion,
