Dear Friends,

On May 31st at 12 noon we’ll be hosting a gathering for spiritual leaders to attend the blessing of the Gateway Prayer Garden. We hope you can make it on this special day of the Jewish celebration of Pentecost, also known as Shavuot. What is Pentecost, and what does it have to do with Shavuot … Please plan to attend and we hope you can make it. Circle your calendar !
