NCOM at M25M, Volunteers and Topics of Interest
Last Saturday, we had a nice crew chip in at Matthew 25 Ministries for some volunteering. Volunteering always turns out to be a great time to catch up and learn fun things about each other, all while lending a hand for a greater cause. Topics of conversation covered were dogs, religion and music! đ Some of us gathered for lunch afterwards, at Sammy’s.
#Tunesday: “Among Angels” by Kate Bush
After listening, check out Rev. Dr. Devin Zuber’s sermon “Angels Among Us” and see “what Swedenborgâs âangelologyâ might practically mean for how we live our lives; that angels might be less a matter of spectacular wings and complicated wonder, and more embedded in our daily experiences than we tend to admit.” https://sfswedenborgian.org/angels-among-us/
Memorial Service for Larry Vaughn
Blessed child of God, Larry Vaughn transitioned into the spiritual realm on March 1, in the early hours of the day. He said that he was ready and awaiting his reunion with his wife, Jerry Ellen, and was talking a little and smiling at conversation and jokes the night before he passed.

Donations may be made in his memory, to his favorite charities, St. Jude Childrenâs Research Hospital, and the SPCA. Donations can also be made to New Church of Montgomery.

#Tunesday: To the Full and Rising Moon
For today’s full moon, we listen to:
The moon as a symbol corresponds to, and in the Word represents, mans faith or belief, as the sun does his charity or love. ~SwedenborgStudy.com https://www.swedenborgstudy.com/books/T.Plantz_Testimony-of-Genesis/sun.html

“Christianity began as a tiny band of enthusiasts numbering no more than a few hundred in a backwater region of the Roman Empire known as Judea. Among the thousands of religious movements in world history, that tiny band has become by far the largest at approximately 2.1 billion adherents. Various reasons for the astonishing reach of the faith are surmised by scholars, but they’re all summed up in the Easter event where the God of all creation becomes intimately personal in a relationship that has no end.” – Rev. Dr. Jim Lawrence
Preserving the Garden and Making Connections
