Streams of Living Water – A conversation – Consider joining a conversation about the great traditions within Christianity and the spiritual practices that each one recommends. This well-written book by a beloved author will help you to understand Christians from other traditions of spirituality and to explore new ways of approaching God that may open your heart and mind to new realms of the divine mind. The conversations will be led by the Rev. Caroline Hall and other participants. All sessions will be on Zoom. Every Tuesday at 10:15 AM October 6 through November 17
Time to Renew Ralph’s & Food4Less Community Cards
Both Ralph’s and Food4Less require annual registration in their community rewards programs which
enables St. Benedict’s to receive a small percentage of every dollar spent there. Log-on to www.ralphs.com (or create an account if you are not already registered.) Enroll in the Community Rewards program, using St. Benedict’s organization number #HV013. Register your Food4Less card in the same way at www.food4less.com
Our organization number with them is #DH925. Thank you to all who have been utilizing their Ralph’s and Food4Less Community Cards. Last week St. Ben’s received two checks from Kroger (Ralph’s) totaling $216.17
People’s Worship – Thursdays at 4PM – This service will be led by Rev. Mike Eggleston and Caro+, and maybe others, at the end of Palisades outside the parking lot of Elizabeth Ann Seaton Catholic Church. It will last no more than 30 minutes and we are hoping that some of our unhoused neighbors will feel able to join us.

Opening Doors of Interfaith Understanding – Zoom Meeting Invitation
Please mark your ZOOM calendars for Monday, October 12th at 7:30 PM, the beginning of our sixth year! Hope all of you are hanging in there during these unprecedented times. Know that our gathering together truly helps!
This gathering will include Fr. Jim Nisbet of Mission San Luis Obispo presenting the hopeful book “THE BOOK OF JOY” by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. We thought it would be a great idea to then have Rev. Mark Bloodgood, Head Priest and Guiding Teacher of the San Luis Obispo Zen Circle, present an Introduction to Buddhism. He has joined our Steering Committee and makes our ZOOM gatherings happen. It will be possible to schmooze afterwards as we have always felt the most important part of our gatherings is getting to know one another. With hope, Rev. Luanne Griguoliv
