Jesus is the Light, and we need no other Light

We continued our study on Christian Meditation with Alex last night with a Labyrinth walk led by Mary Garbesi. We learned a little of the history of labyrinths and of our labyrinth in particular. After walking the labyrinth, we discussed our thoughts and experiences with the labyrinth. Make sure to come next Wednesday for the final installment on Christian meditation!

Thanks Alex for teaching us a new song and for bringing in all the instruments! It definitely made up for the previous 'songless' Wednesdays!

Next month, Sarah will be facilitating Romans.

Please pray these prayers:

* bridge members - We didn't do individual prayers this past Wednesday. Please keep all the bridge members and their families in your prayers this week.
* Matthew Logan (Whitney's friend) - Friday night (4/18) a car jumped the curb and hit a group of people. He was walking on the sidewalk. He was taken to the neuro-ICU, where he had brain swelling and bleeding, so they had to put in a stint on Saturday. So far the doctors have kept Mat in a medically induced coma due to his head trauma. The pressure has gone down some, and if Mat continues to remain stable, they will take him of the sedation and paralytics on Thursday, so as to see if there is a response. The most recent update is he had some swelling overnight, so had to postpone the med withdrawal to add another drain.
* Whitney's brother - He's decided to request for a transfer from his naval station in Groton, CT. He has always struggled to fit in in life, and it has finally become too difficult for him to continue to work where he is stationed based on the treatment he receives from those he works with. Please pray for healing, strength, love to surround him, and that this situation will not exacerbate what he is already facing from his fleet.
* Jay and KAtherine Wolfe and new baby (see e-mails sent out by Peter) -Katharine collapsed due to a preexisting brain condition and she had emergency surgery for hemmoraging. The doctors are very concerned that she will have permanent brain damage. The family is asking that the prayers keep pouring in as we are all asking for a total miracle. Her husband Jay has asked that we begin to pray Mark 5:41 -- to believe that Jesus is speaking to Katharine. "He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!")" -- Mark 5:41

Praise God for:
* bridge members - praise God for all the wonderful things that we have in our lives. Enough to eat, clothing to keep us warm, a safe place to sleep at night, friends and family.
