For your contemplation: God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don’t let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand. Rainer Maria Rilke

St. Paul’s is located at 625 C St. on the edge of the EWU campus.

United Church of Christ

At the Cheney United Church of Christ pastor David Krueger-Duncan will be speaking at the May 19 worship service, designated as “Teacher Recognition Sunday.” All are invited to attend. The service begins at 10 a.m., with child care available in the Christian education building from 9:45-11:15 a.m.

This is the last week that school-age children will have Christian education class after the children’s minutes; they may, instead, attend the entire service with their parents.

During the fellowship time after church, friends new and old will chat over coffee and goodies.
