Sunday Celebration February 5, 2012

Greetings by Carole Megarry, Jan DeNoble & Greg Garman

Communal Singing led by David West

Lao Tzu # 39 Witter Bynner  followed by 5 minutes of silence.

The wholeness of life has, from of old, been made manifest in its parts: Clarity has been made manifest in heaven, Firmness in earth, Purity in the spirit, In the valley conception, In the river procreation; And so in a leader are the people made manifest For wholeness of use. But for clarity heaven would be veiled,
But for firmness earth would have crumbled, But for purity spirit would have fumbled, But for conception the valley would have failed, But for procreation the river have run dry; So, save for the people, a leader shall die:
Always the low carry the high On a root for growing by. What can stand lofty with no low foundation? No wonder leaders of a land profess Their stature and their station To be servitude and lowliness! If rim and spoke and hub were not, Where would be the chariot? Who will prefer the jingle of jade pendants if One once has heard stone growing in a cliff!

Scripture Reading Mark 1:29-39 by Beth Richards

As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.  Now Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her at once. Jesus came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.

That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. And the whole city was gathered around the door. And Jesus cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. And Simon and his companions hunted for him. When they found him, they said to him, "Everyone is searching for you."

Jesus answered, "Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do." And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.
