Flower Power:
Our Altar Guild is amazing! The lovely fresh flowers and greenery add brightness and joy to our worship service. The fresh arrangements provided show talent and care. For those of us, like myself, sitting in the congregation, the arrangements appear seamlessly (almost like magic) and consistently. It’s such a joy. It also gives us a way to express remembrances of loved ones who are no longer physically with us; also, in celebration of special occasions.

Thanks to all who work with our beautiful flowers and flower arrangements, and to all those who donate to the flower fund to make this possible.

Your grateful Senior Warden, Nancylee Stewart

Join us in celebrating the 11th anniversary of our Bayfront location with free admission to the Museum on Wednesday, September 9th. Did you know that our current Front Street location is actually our third building? The first building was in Coquille, and it opened 1947. Then in 1958, a new location opened in North Bend. Finally, after decades of fundraising and generous community support, our Bayfront location was opened in 2015.

A Blessing for September:

MAY GOD BLESS YOU with discomfort,
at easy answers, half truths,
and superficial relationships
so that you may live
deep within your heart.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU with anger,
at injustice, oppression,
and exploitation of people,
so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU with tears,
to shed for those who suffer pain,
rejections, hunger, and war,
so that you may reach out your hand
to comfort them and
to turn their pain to joy.

And MAY GOD BLESS YOU
with enough foolishness
to believe that you can
make a difference in the world,
so that you can do
what others claim cannot be done,
to bring justice and kindness
to all our children and the poor.
Amen.
