"There Are Still Places Google Can't Take You"
Cheryl Wilder, Preaching Practicum
It is a common expression to say, "Follow Your Dreams." But what does that really mean? What does it look like? And, where's the map to get there? Come hear one member's story about when she decided to follow her dream.
MUSIC NOTES Make sure to come early to hear a quartet of musicians (clarinet, viola, cello and piano) play a specially arranged medley of music about dreams and wishes. During the service Jenny Warnasch will sing songs by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Cohen.

Within These Walls
GOOD NEWS! We asked you to consider increasing your pledges to help us get closer to our fundraising goal. We are amazed and grateful for your overwhelming generosity-you pledged an additional $87,000, bringing our Capital Campaign total to $1,525,000! This amount ensures that we will be able to renovate the meeting/classrooms and build the additional two rooms onto the Jones Building. We are only $175,000 from our campaign goal. Raising this additional amount will allow us to make some of the renovations to the Commons bathrooms, the Kitchen, and the Community Room. Ivy, Paige, and Cathy thank you again for your generosity and support.
IMPORTANT PARKING NOTICE Please... No parking at Kehillah unless registered through our church for one of 15 spaces Kehillah permits us to use during the year.  (Other parking jeopardizes this arrangement.  We lost all privileges before when we abused this.)  Please check home page of church website so you know the 2 alternative parking areas open, should you arrive to find our church lots full.  This can happen during one-service Sundays in the summer, like last Sunday!  THANKS!
