By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and
to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.

Sunday, April 15th, 9:00AM, Forum
Speaker: Robert Melson
Topic: False Papers
Robert Melson will discuss his family memoir,
“False Papers,” that chronicles his family’s and his
survival during the Holocaust. The Mendelsohn’s, a
middle class Jewish family, survived the Nazis by
posing as Polish Catholic aristocrats.
Sunday, April 15th, 10:30AM, Service
Speaker: Rev. D. Charles Davis
Topic: Taxation and Representation
With Gerrymandered districts, voter suppression and
money defined as speech, do we still have democracy in
the United States of America? Why are the wages of
worker taxed at a higher rate than inherited wealth. Does
this money give some people more free speech than
others?

Speaker: Bill Welge
Topic: Redefining the Free Will Paradox

Speaker: Rev. D. Charles Davis
Topic: Dietrich Bonhoeffer
This German theologian and Nazi resistor Made the
distinction between cheap grace and costly Grace. Cheap
grace relaxes in the knowledge that one is saved costly
grace calls one to follow Jesus and be a disciple.
Disciplined in pursuing justice.

community. http://www.bahai.org

World Religions from the DRE library.

you have questions. He will be leading “Time for All
Ages” today.

Although sometimes lately the weather has given us con-
flicting clues, spring has indeed sprung! We are looking
forward to getting outdoors and having fun. Here is a list
of some fun activities to get ideas rolling.
Spring bucket list ideas for families:
-get out the rain boots and splash in muddy pud-
dles
-find a nice picnic spot and eat outdoors
-crush weeds and herbs and enjoy their aroma
-fly a kite
-go to a farmer's market
-watch chicks hatch
-collect wildflowers
-make mud pies
-spend the afternoon at the zoo
-find a four leaf clover
-stargaze
-go on a hike and skip rocks if you find water
-go bird watching
-watch a sunrise
-hand wash the car
There is something infinitely healing in the in the repeat-ed refrains of nature- the assurance that dawn comes after night and spring after winter.
-Rachel Carson
