Next Saturday, May 3, we invite you to attend a work party on the Greenfield grounds, beginning at 9:00 am with a brief meditation, followed by work activities. The work party concludes with a light lunch served at 12:30 pm, with both indoor and outdoor tasks for all levels of skill and physical ability. Please join us for service and fellowship by signing up for the work party so we can prepare the activities in advance. A sign-up sheet is available on the free literature table.
Our next 3-hour meditation service will be held on Tuesday, May 6, in the Greenfield barn chapel, beginning at 6:30 pm with Energization Exercises and ending at 9:30 pm. The chapel opens at 6:15.
