Sonlight Christian Camp Fundraiser: United Church Oct. 17
Fill The Dough Bowl!
A Fundraising Event In Support of
Sonlight Christian Camp
At United Church Saturday, Oct. 17, 1-3 p.m.
For 42 years, Sonlight Christian Camp has provided families with wonderful camp experiences in a Christian setting.
COVID-19 nearly stopped all 2020 camp events, but the Sonlight staff got creative and hosted approved, socially distant, family camps – which were a hit – but not enough to sustain Sonlight through another year of COVID-19 related restrictions and increased expenses.
Sonlight is famous for their homemade cookies (they are good for the soul), and those craving Read More
Fr. Glenn: Remembering St. Francis
By Fr. Glenn Jones
This Sunday (October 4) happens to fall on the annual Catholic memorial feast of much-beloved St. Francis of Assisi. Even many non-Catholic Christians and atheists hold St. Francis in esteem, very often for his touted devotion to nature and kindness to animals; likely a majority of the statues and portrayals depict him with birds or other animals about his person. And even today the collective community of religious orders claiming St. Francis as their inspiration is likely the largest in the world.
Some may ask: “I thought they followed Jesus?!” Well, certainly; Jesus Christ Read More

“Clay is constantly changing, drying, shrinking” my pottery professor would say, “you need to work with it.”
In upstate New York where I first went to school, getting our pots to dry was a challenge. The relative humidity was high, and most pots didn’t really ever dry completely until we put them in a warm kiln for a few hours.
Here in Los Alamos, or before, even worse, when I made pots in Las Cruces, clay dries at an alarming Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Freedom Of Truth
By Fr. Glenn Jones
Is anyone—everyone—confused? Perhaps more than we think. With the onslaught of conflicting information concerning the various candidates in the upcoming election, it’s hard not to be. We find ourselves continuously having to ask: “Is this … or is it that … report which is correct; they are claiming essentially opposite things. Did this thing even really happen … and as they say it happened? Did he or she really do what is alleged?
Sigh. For those who want to be truly informed and not simply vote for the “correct” letter by a name, it can be a jungle out there. But, unfortunately, Read More
Father Theophan: Slow Is Smooth, Smooth Is Fast

You can thank the U.S. Navy Seals for this nugget of wisdom although it may go back as far as Napoleon. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.” It seems counter-intuitive or at least paradoxical.
However, it is so true in so many facets of life, especially in the pottery workshop. Precious little in pottery is improved by doing it quickly, and there is a lot that can be ruined in an instant of inattention. Often on-line videos of potters throwing will be sped up, so that they are less boring to watch, Read More
