10 Years at Beaumeade!
03/10/2018 09:27:04 AM
On Friday March 9 we commemorated our 10th anniversary in our building with a special Erev Shabbat service. First we rededicated the mezuzzah at the entry to the sanctuary, which had been removed for the painting project. At our service we had some guest speakers - former President Renee Gupp talked about how we found this building and our early years both here and previously. I talked about our upgrade plans for the next ten years. After the service we celebrated with a festive luau oneg, with delicious (and kosher!) fruit smoothies catered by Maui Wowi. So many people joined us that we had to order extra smoothies to serve everyone, plus many of our congregants came decked out in Hawaiian shirts in the spirit of the occasion! Please consider a donation to our building improvement project so that we can continue to enjoy this building!

BCRC News and Notes
Interfaith Event Featuring Visiting Scholar
Come for One Evening or Both
Please join in us on Friday for a communal Sabbath study, service, meal, and discussion, led by Rabbi Charnes, to experience the depth and breath of what Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel has rightly and most profoundly called our “sanctuary in time.”
Saturday’s program will feature a unique discussion between Rabbis (Rabbi Charnes and Rabbi Amy) and Pastors (from Community Lutheran Church, Sterling) on how Judaism and Christianity understand the nature of sin, forgiveness, and atonement; the function of law, faith, and grace; the notion of righteousness; what it means to be created in “the image of God;” and how these abstract doctrines and theologies can animate our sacred practices.
