Service Saturday May 12, 10am PDT, (Ben) Rotation: Brandon, Eric, Jerry?, Shelley, Ben ?In-person service May 12, evening with the Vliets

Sunday 1:30pm PDT

Usually involves contacting an individual or the group that week
Eric has signed up for three meetups and been to two ... signed up for seven groups
The less wrong group ... try to understand how thought works and how to make better decisions (secularists, atheists)
The center for inquiry ... (atheists, secularists, interested in rationalism) ... followers of the new atheists

Could symbolize (In the biospheric communionism formulation of the year, the summer solstice is around the emergence of technology ... anything involving a campfire would be good, wheels would be good ... early technology)
Anything to do with the beginning of summer. Sun reaches the highpoint in its figure eight in the sky. Would go out and take off my jacket.
Starting to darken
