Video Sermon: Mother’s Day and Equal Rights
by Rev. Dr. Roger L. Ray, Community Christian Church, Springfield
Nearly a century has passed since the Equal Rights Amendment was first proposed. Every other western democracy’s constitution includes a statement regarding gender equality but in the USA, we still need one more state to approve this long over due change. Women still earn significantly less than men and women of color earn even less. Sure, get your mom and card and flowers for Mothers’ Day but realize this: what she really wants is equal rights!

Award-Winning Book Presents Author’s Personal Experience and the Latest Scholarly Research in an Inspirational Approach to Understanding the Ministry of Jesus and the Books of the Old Testament
Millennials seeking a new approach to spirituality, those who identify with the “emerging church” identified by Marcus Borg and others, anyone interested in Christ’s Jewishness and the elimination of anti-Jewish bias from Bible study, and women, LGBTs, and others who seek a Biblical approach that overcomes insistence on obedience to questionable Old Testament commands will be intrigued by the new book by Edward G. Simmons.

Author: Jody Walker, M.A.
Illustrator: Shannon Benson
What if humans could see auras, could sense the colorful rays that extend out from everything all the time? And what if some of the new children entering the earth could communicate through touch?
The critters of Little Meadow have not seen humans for many years, but one day that all changes. Old Oak holds the story together in a way only an oak tree can. And what a story! A secret escapes and a rock launches virtual reality, showering the creatures at Little Meadow with wonder as well as concern. In this future world a young girl is able to transmit and receive messages through touch. Her brother has powers of his own and he’s learning to use them.
