Each week we provide a safe and welcoming environment for kids starting at 10am. If you are looking for a Sunday morning experience for your kids that includes C3 Values, creative activities, toys, books, games and outdoor fun (when weather permits), we are here to make it happen! Miss Mary is happy to be spending time with your kids!

Sunday’s Program and Reading:

Speaker: Barbara Lee Van Horssen is the founder and Experi-Mentor of the Momentum Center. She is an ordained interfaith minister and holds an MBA in Leadership Studies. When she isn’t working, Barbara loves travel, the theater, chocolate, and spending time with her four-year-old grandson Silas.

Musician: Ed DuPas is a singer-songwriter whose music seeks an audience, but seems just as content without one. Part country, part blues, part rock, part poetry – listening to a DuPas record is an experience you can get lost in. His music has been compared to that of Bruce Springsteen, Kris Kristofferson, Sturgill Simpson, Sam Outlaw, and Steve Earle, but DuPas is making music all his own.

Moment of Silence

Reading/Teaching: Barbara Lee VanHorssen

All the Hemispheres
Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadows and shores and hills. Open up to the Roof.
Make a new watermark on your excitement And love.
Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.
Change rooms in your mind for a day.
All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.
Greet Yourself
In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel Back home.
All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire
Chatting
While stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.

– Hafiz translated by Daniel Ladinsky
