Welcome to All!

First Event: Love Abides Saturday, February 21st at 7:00 PM Some Kiss We Want   There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of   spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell.   And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling! At   night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its   face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language- door and   open the love window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.   From Soul of Rumi by Coleman Barks  North Congregational United Church of Christ justnorthucc.org 2040 W. Henderson Rd.  Columbus, OH 43220  (Two miles west of 315, just past Reed Road, north side of Henderson Rd.) Park in back of building. Look for sign marking the door. Enter at the main rear door under the main church sign. We will meet in the narthex this time. ________________________ All are welcome! Bring a friend, come, eat, dance and pray together. No previous experience required. All chants and body prayers are taught. Live musicians. IF you wish, bring a snack to share for afterwards. See special needs below. No charge. Donations gladly accepted to pay for the room rental. ____________________________________________________ Special Note: NO PEANUTS! Please do not bring any snack items made with peanuts and/ or made in a kitchen or factory where peanuts have been used. Please read labels carefully for peanut warnings. There are preschoolers who use the same room as the dances who are highly allergic to peanuts. Let's carefully protect the kids. Thank you!

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and righting,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.
