"All the colors abound for the whole world around and for everyone under the sun..."
So goes the English translation of the words from the beautiful Spanish folksong De Colores, which we sang this past Sunday at our very first Spanish language service, spearheaded under the loving determination of our own Rev. Martha Saenz. Rev. Martha
has envisioned this service for our spiritual home for many years, and she manifest it flawlessly! Rev. Martha served as M.C. of the service, and Rev. Juan Villagran made the journey from ISD-Sparta to be our very special guest homilist. A hearty congratulations to Rev. Martha for making her dream come true and to her team of volunteers for making our spiritual home even more welcoming for all who pass through its doors. To see a few photographs from this wonderful event, check out our Facebook page

And it is also time for our Spring Spruce Up! This is the time of year we all gather to make our Spiritual home shine brightly for the Spring season. We weed, we plant, we clean, we scrub and we polish. Want to help? Email me at
revrobb@isd-dc.org and we'll get you set on the best time for you to be there!
Be sure to check out the latest blog posting from our Board Chair Rev. Patricia Makin, who is eternally grateful for the support and love her ISD family offered her during a recent health "event" (as she prefers to call it.) And remember to check out the recently-updated, ISD meditations page, where we are beginning to post some of our Sunday service wellness meditations and our bi-monthly evening meditations.
Let's bask in all the colors for everyone under the sun!
In love and color,
Rev. Rob Banaszak
Pastor, Institute for Spiritual Development, Washington, D.C.
