This week we have the chance to accept afresh and anew Jesus’ generous invitation from the first century and and the 21st century "to come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while," according to Mark 6: 30-34.

Surely Jesus means at least this; to step back and see what God saw at creation: And God saw everything that God had made, and behold, it was very good.

One of the best reflections I've read this week that speaks of pastors who are tired on a soul level (but that relates to all of us) is this one titled, "The Second Marathon."

Last presentation in this series, we looked at letting go of our past to free us to explore new opportunities. This week, we will look at integrating our past in order to learn from where we have been, and use it in ways that expand our lives moving forward. Our artist guide this week is American folk painter Edward Hicks, with a little help from modern American philosopher Ken Wilbur.

Now that more and more activities and opportunities are opening up to us, what is our next move? Over the next 6 months? The next year? The next 5 years? What do we want to experience, achieve, acquire? What impact do we want to make? What relationships do we want to cultivate or mend?

Inspired by some of the amazing art I’ve recently seen, I would like to present ideas and resources that may help us turn the next page in our lives, gain clarity about opportunities, and expand our legacy for our friends, family, and community.

Please join me Sunday morning as we continue our live virtual meetings, always ending with your chance to share your thoughts and ideas.

When you read about disasters, do you sometimes wonder how you can help? Consider giving to this year's One Great Hour of Sharing.

This year’s theme is : Let Love Flow. Your generous donations to One Great Hour of Sharing permit the inclusive love of Pine Street Church to flow whenever and wherever it is most needed. Thank you for helping us to reach (and exceed) our goal of $1,000. So far we've raised $650!

Pine Street Church will receive the One Great Hour of Sharing offering throughout the month of July. You may send a check to Pine Street Church with OGHS in the memo line, or find the drop down tab on the giving page of our website.

One often overlooked element of Church stewardship is the enormous contribution of time and talent contributed by volunteers. At Pine Street Church, volunteer service has helped power us through the pandemic with an over-worked and unpaid leadership council, with volunteer service from our preschool oversight committee, volunteer beautification work from Tom Fowler, unpaid financial services every bit as good as ones I paid for dearly in the Universities I led, pro bono nurture and prayer teams, professional architectural assessments where miraculously no invoice appears, … The list can go on. As important as our financial gifts are to paying the inevitable bills required to maintain our property and ministry, volunteer service is essential to ensure that those bills remain within our capacity to pay them.

On Saturday, July 31, we all have the opportunity to bring our own time and talent into the service of the church’s building and grounds. As we continue to prepare for resuming in-person worship in late September, there is much to do both inside and out at 1237 Pine Street. Every task we can accomplish will make our subsequent investment in professional deep cleaning more effective and less costly than it could have been.

Join us July 31. It will be a day of reunion and of stewardship. You can SIGN UP HERE.

The Oasis women’s book study/support/ministry group will begin study of The Four Sacred Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times by Dr. Anita L. Sanchez on July 15. "The Four Sacred Gifts reveals how our world depends on each of us to discover our interconnectedness to people, earth, and animals, with awareness that we are ‘all one relation’”.

Dr. Sanchez is a Boulder author. This is a great time for women to join the group to learn something new, as well as develop new relationships. Contact Mary Beth Mankin, mbmankin545@gmail.com, with questions or to get zoom information for Oasis meetings on Thursdays at 1:30 PM.
