Many Hands, One Heart, Sacred Love for All
Sunday April 25, 2021 at 10:30 am 
Fourth Sunday after Easter
 
Come to the Manor, the table is ready, “Jesus is the Key Stone”   

We are the key, the password, to the open way.
The keys are lost and found, the searching way. The way forward is, “Pray to Saint Anthony”.
The password is Jesus is the stone.  Pray to Saint Anthony, the password is Jesus is the stone.
Peter is the rock, who opens the way to the people, pushes at the edge of oppression, the hard edge of Empire. 
The key is repentant, beyond denial, confront fear, seek messiah, find power of life. 
Confront oppression, the key is the civil rights movement. The key to the searching way is transformation.
The key is God’s love abiding. Love is known, love in action, in our heart.
The key is sacrifice, test of love, build truth.
The key is the good shepherd. The key is shepherd voice, in sheep and the other sheep, the I am sheep.
The key is laying down the life, gathering, flock.
The key is providing space, welcome, grace, mercy.
The key is surrender alienation, invitation, the search way, the open door, 
Welcome arms, abiding love.

The pandemic requires us to clean in between tenants and groups who use MRUC. Duties would include airing the rooms, mopping, and disinfecting high touch surfaces. The rate of pay is $20/hour for one time events and $15/hour for weekly cleaning. Shifts would be a minimum of 2 hours and cleaning would likely be needed in the evenings or on weekends. Please email manorroaduc@gmail.com if you are interested.
