PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Glenn Tarver Our Annual General Meeting is scheduled for 1:00 pm on Sunday April 21. It will be preceded by our usual 10:30 morning service followed by a whole foods potluck lunch. Our by-laws indicate attendance of one-third of our membership (21 people) is needed to meet quorum requirements. For those unable to attend in person, online participation using Zoom will be available. I anticipate this meeting will flow smoothly with our more user-friendly agenda format, an initiative I have been considering for the past 11 months.
As always, there are many interesting congregation activities and events in April. See our calendar for the full list further down the page. Particularly noteworthy is our second Peace Concert scheduled for Saturday April 27 at 2:00 pm, again organized by Lorna ( thank you). The proceeds will go to Doctors Without Borders. I urge everyone to attend this important event and bring friends and family if possible. Annual General MeetingSunday April 21 will be a full day, starting with a heartwarming morning service about humans and animals, classic "7th Principle" fare, on all being intertwined in the web of life. Bring a plant-based dish for our potluck table for a healthy fill-up before the AGM at 1 pm. The annual meeting covers all the business of the year, is an open forum for Q&A, ideas and discussion, and is also a celebration of ourselves and our year's accomplishments. A special thank-you to Heather Vesh, our ever-capable office administrator, who pulled together all the documentation for the AGM package and and got it out to everyone on time. Attend in person or on Zoom.
"There are times in our lives when we're 'going places' and other times when we stay in place, either by choice or because of circumstances. Our mobility may change at various stages of life, with both losses and benefits to be found. How can we not feel "stuck" and continue to
experience movement of the soul and spirit?" |

Peace Concert 2 on the near horizon
Reserve Saturday, April 27, 2 pm to 4 pm, for our free second Peace Concert, open to all musicians and audience members. Admission free. Refreshments included. It's a great way to spend a family-friendly afternoon. The variety of music and talent is wonderful. We will again collect donations for the Doctors Without Borders charity. In January our first effort raised $50o. It was a thoroughly enjoyable event.
Book Club BYOB: Bring Your Own Book
This month bring a book you think others should read. On Monday, April 22, at 11 a.m. book lovers will meet on Zoom for an hour to swap recommendations. Come prepared with a sales pitch for your book. Last month we had an engaging discussion and slide presentation led by Marion Wyse on the book "Five Smooth Stones" by Ann Fairbairn. Thank you, Marion, for a job well done! "The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem" by Sarit Yeshal Levi is the book of choice for May 27, Betty Kruk facilitating. All are welcome.
