Visio Divina - Experiencing God through Image and Scripture

anointed_web.jpg

 Take a moment to stop, breathe, and contemplate Art and Scripture together in this contemplative practice of Visio Divina. In our Lent Series of Cultivating and Letting Go, we can cultivate new ways to experience the Divine speaking through us as we use words and images together to discover their meaning for us.

We have two sessions planned: Tuesday, March 9th at 4 PM and Saturday, March 13th at 10 AM. Zoom link for both is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8152000968?pwd=d3pMc051dTFLT3ZkcFlldWJTTmNTZz09. Please email Melissa at ml.yosuadavis@gmail.com to indicate your interest in attending one or both of these sessions to assist in planning!

UPDATE 2: Dredging - Read Eamonn's letter - please write one

Final Dredging report for the Stone Wharf and related documents. https://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Missions/Projects-Topics/Great-Chebeague-Island/


Last Summer, Eamonn’s parents bought a house on Chebeague. Last week, he heard about the dredging problem. So, he wrote this letter. (His younger brother folded it to go in the envelope)

From the Board of Selectmen. As we all know the channel at the Stone Wharf is filling in and dredging is long overdue. CTC is in the position of cancelling trips at -1' tides because of the silting. The Town has been working on this problem for a dozen years. Now we are in a crisis situation.

We hope that the project will begin by the end of 2021 but there are no guarantees. The Army Corps of Engineers needs to hear how the silting of the channel and boat cancellations are impacting you and your family. Please send a letter of concern to:

Update - someone else this morning got hacked. Please be careful and don’t open any link.

A reader alerted that they had recently received emails from island residents.

People the reader knew, but didn’t expect an email from.

NEVER click a link - if the email is telling you to do something - visit that website directly, through your usual access.
