“(500) Days of Summer”

(500) Days of Summer

Saturday, March 20
7:30 p.m.
At the Fellowship

Suggested Donation: $3.00

Ah, Spring, with warmer days ahead... and love in the air!

(500) Days of Summer (2009, PG-13) is a witty, uncommon romantic comedy that understands that we mark our lives by our scrapes with love and our defeats, rather than simply white wedding cake success.

When his girlfriend, Summer (Zooey Deschanel), unceremoniously dumps him, greeting card copywriter and hopeless romantic Tom (Golden Globe® nominee Joseph Gordon-Levitt) begins sifting through the year-plus worth of days they spent together, looking for clues as to what went awry.

As he recalls the good and bad times he spent with the commitment-phobic girl, his heart reawakens to what it cherishes most.


Popcorn, snacks, and soft drinks are available at a low price.

Come and enjoy the movie and then share and learn as we discuss the spiritual lessons the movie offers, and how they can be implemented in our lives today.

At the Fellowship

Suggested Donation: $5.00

“Join hands and circle left!”

Come on out for some good
old-fashioned community dancing fun!


Back before TV and the Internet and I-Phones, people got together and danced on a Saturday night! It was the time to socialize, relax, and interact with your neighbors in a fun and friendly way.

So, come and join us for an evening of "Friendship Set to Music" as we do some traditional American dances in circles, lines, or maybe a square formation.

No experience necessary, no partner required. All you'll be asked to do is walk, hold hands, and smile!

All dances will be called and taught by Ben Allbrandt, who brings his more than seventeen years of dance leadership to our party.

For questions or further information, contact the Fellowship at info@fellowshipoftheinnerlight.com.

All are invited to bring snack food to this event.

Contact Sheila Killmon to coordinate the food choices: vbsheila1@yahoo.com.

Saturday, April 3

Neil Helm The International Association for Near-Death Studies welcomes Neil Helm to its next meeting.

At age five, Neil Helm drowned and went down a tunnel towards the Light of God. He stood naked in front of God, and God said, "It is not your time." Then Neil was pulled from under the water and resuscitated. That experience opened a pathway with God through which Neil received many gifts that include psychic, telepathic, and healing powers. At the meeting Neil will tell his story in detail.

In his working life, Mr. Helm was an internationally recognized space scientist and technologist. He recently retired from the School of Engineering and Applied Science of George Washington University. He is a Member of the International Academy of Astronautics. He has co-authored three books and has published more than forty technical papers. He was a lay pastor in Saudi Arabia, and is now an M.A. student at Atlantic University.

Saturday, April 3, 2010, from 10:00 to Noon at the Association for Research and Enlightenment (Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.), 67th Street and Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach.

Suggested donation: $5.00 at the door. No one turned away, capacity permitting.

After the meeting, all are invited to a local restaurant to continue the conversation.

On Sunday, April 25 (the last Sunday in April), Neil Helm will be the guest speaker at the Fellowship Joy in Worship service.

Paul Solomon Reading

Paul Solomon Reading # 204

Worship more. Pray more together. And sing, lifting the voices together. For through the singing, perhaps more than anything else you would do together as a group in this place, we find it so much easier to visit.

Understand that as your spirits are brought together—all singing together of one accord, joining the selves to common purpose, there would be as webs going out from each of you, joining all the others. And we would find this pool of light joined together through the lifting of hearts, and the common vibrations, those common tunes, thus setting aright the spirit of worship. Open yourself, and as often as you would seek to communicate, we shall walk with thee.


Paul Solomon
