    An alternative shared by Ted Doty:

    I pledge allegiance to the earth on which I stand

              One world, one people undivided

              With food, shelter, and justice for all.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just a reminder-----

              Each week following the meeting there are tasks that need to be done:  there are signs outside that must be put away along with extra chairs, candle, table, tablecloth, hymnals, name tags, etc.  If more people would do some part of the tasks, then a few people would have a little less to do.  Thank you for helping when you can!
