This summer and fall have been busy for me. Ive been traveling a lot, bringing songs and stories and carrying my guitar from
Southern California to northeastern Delaware, from south Texas up to Lake Michigan. Its been quite an exciting few months.
Yesterday, I was with Stephen in the Sonoran Desert, admiring the saguaro cactus forests. Today, Im in a Tennessee thunderstorm,
our sugar maple tree dropping leaves like rainfall.
The world is full of all kinds of beauty, isnt it? And yet, too often, I think, we act like we want everyone to share the same
definition of what makes us beautiful.
The desert landscape couldnt be more different from a thunderstorm, but both are stunningly beautiful.
Friends, dont be fooled by the narrow definition of beauty that marketers are selling us. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, in
smells and sensations - all of this big, beautiful world waiting for us to discover it, to enjoy it, and to add to it with our own efforts
to make the world more beautiful, more available for everyone to enjoy.
Be good to one another. See the good in one another. See everyone as beautiful, precious, and worthy of being treasured. Look, too, for bleak places
that are in need of beauty-bringing. God made each one of us to be both beautiful and beauty-filling in the world. This is sacred work. Lets do it together!

What is it? A system which sends a signal to hearing aids for clearer sound, especially making speech more intelligible.
How does it work? An antenna (Loop) surrounding the main floor pews sends an induction signal to your hearing aids.
Will my aids work? Yes, if they have a telephone program. Unless they are antiques, they will.
What do I do? Your aids will have either telephone circuit with a switch or it may work by digital program. To find out
how yours works and if it needs to be reprogrammed, check with your audiologist. Then, just sit in the pews on the main
floor, and turn them to the correct mode. And dont forget to switch them back to normal as you leave, or your aids will
impede normal conversation.
When do we start? If all goes as planned, You can start using this on Sunday, November 23.
Whom do we thank? Ellen Dillon initiated interest in this and saw it through with the Property Committee.
