PPeering into the Mind of God by Rick Levine: Friday, June 19, 7 pm to 9 pm. Presented by mnstars.org
Albert Einstein once said, “I want to know God’s thoughts; the rest are details.” How do cosmology, science and spirituality weave a magic carpet tapestry that supports astrology? What is life? Is our fate written in stone in our horoscopes? Does free will exist? What is the relationship between the cosmos and the individual? What survives death? How can we better understand our place in the Universe? What does astrology say about these unstable times? These are big questions… and not the answers you’d expect.
Rick Levine is a former Twin -Cities author and astrologer who now lives in the northwest, a computer wizard, net-junkie, big-hearted, and rumored to have an advanced Intel quad core microprocessor imbedded in his brain. 15$ ( $10 for mnstars members)

Opening Smudge
Lao-Tzu # 80 followed by 5 minutes of silence
If a country is governed wisely, its inhabitants will be content.
They enjoy the labor of their hands and don’t waste time inventing labor-saving machines.
Since they dearly love their homes, they aren’t interested in travel.
There may be a few wagons and boats, but these don’t go anywhere.
There may be an arsenal of weapons, but nobody ever uses them.
People enjoy their food, take pleasure in being with their families, spend weekends working in their gardens, delight in the doings of the neighborhood.
And even though the next country is so close that people can hear its roosters crowing and its dogs barking, they are content to die of old age without ever having gone to see it.
Poetry read by Jesse Watkins
Welcome, Announcements & Offering
Scripture Reading: Mark 4:35-41 by Greg Garman
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped .But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm .He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
