Food for Thought

"Simplicity is not about an antique form of dress or speech. It is a reminder that today, as surely as hundreds of years ago, we can choose to allow God to order our lives.  It asks us to set aside time for prayer and spiritual discipline that open us to wisdom and guidance beyond our own.  Today, as then, it refers to a life lit from within by the Inward Light, ordered by the Love that nourishes the core, and freed by the Spirit from bondage to the superficial."

What's New at Stony Run

FIRST DAY FORUMS are held in the Dining Room downstairs.  Coffee/tea and bagels are available at 9:00 am, and the program begins at 9:15 am.  
Today: Leonard Peltier – Who Is He?  Presented by Dellie James, who asks “Do you know why we have a minute asking for the release of this U.S. political prisoner?”
Beginning in February, SINC plans to devote the first Sunday of each month to queries found in the 2011 draft of BYM’s Faith and Practice, using a worship-sharing format.  These queries appear in each month’s Newsletter and are read during that month’s Meeting for Worship with a Concern for Business.
