Where the Horses Heal the Soul
A Documentary about the Ride on Center for Kids
Sunday, April 27, at 3:00 PM – Wellspring Sanctuary

Prior to their passing in the spring of 2023, George and Barbara Brightwell supported a documentary about one of their pet projects in Georgetown, the Ride on Center for Kids (ROCK). Where the Horses Heal the Soul will be screened in our sanctuary on Sunday, April 27, at 3:00 PM. The documentary chronicles the transformative power of hippotherapy, a form of therapy utilizing horses, in the lives of individuals with special needs, veterans, and others affected by trauma. Through their experiences at ROCK, these individuals have found solace and healing in the presence of these magnificent creatures. We cordially invite you to join us for this poignant documentary.

Celebrating the Ministry of Sallia Bandy
Sunday, May 18, following the late service

Last Sunday, we formally announced Sallia Bandy’s retirement at the end of May. Sallia has served as our choir director for 17 years and has decided to retire from that position. She has assured us that she will continue to be involved in our tech booth and serving where she can. To celebrate Sallia, we are combining our semi-annual Meet at the Well Pot Luck Luncheon with a retirement celebration for her on Sunday, May 18,
immediately following the late service. Please make arrangements to celebrate Sallia and her ministry among us.

Enneagram Group Forming

Beginning Tuesday, April 22, at 2:00 PM

If you are familiar with the Enneagram or are interested in learning about it alongside fellow travelers, this group is for you. We will commence on Tuesday, April 22, at 2:00 PM, and we will endeavor to facilitate the development of both newcomers to the Enneagram and those who are on their journey toward a deeper comprehension. Subsequently, this group will evolve into an ongoing community where we will share our personal experiences and provide mutual support as we undertake the transformative “inner work” associated with the Enneagram.

The group will convene weekly throughout the month of May on Tuesdays at 2:00 PM. Subsequently, we will establish a monthly gathering schedule that accommodates the preferences of those who wish to participate in a long-term group.

Kindly register for this group at the following link: https://forms.gle/EYWFkpz28c3vrfTP8
