• New Dade County Pines...Thank You, Bob Welsh!
  

  Thanks to City Commissioner Bob Welsh, the church has Dade County pine trees on the property.  Bob spent hours at church, breaking through coral rock to plant the young trees.  We thank him for his dedication and hard work!  If other groups are interested in obtaining trees, Bob asks that you contact him.  He'll help groups that need assistance with planting.  Together, we can enhance the beauty of our county and restore native plants.

• Taking the Sermon Home

  The readings are 2 Kings 5:1-3, 7-15c and Luke 17:11-19.

  • Naaman, the army commander from Aram in our First Reading, was cleansed in the Jordan River and made clean.  What other transformations did he undergo from the healing?
  • Just as Naaman was a foreigner, so too, was the leper in Luke 17 that took time to thank Jesus.  What does this reveal about the nature of God?
  • What does it mean to you, to experience "healing" from God?  How does baptism tie into stories of cleansing and healing?

  There will be silence, quiet music, and a chance to focus and center the spirit.
