TOMAS: Good evening, my friends. I am Tomas, your host. A different greeting, yes. Be not alarmed; I am still your friend.

Now, my gracious guests, I have prepared for you a tidbit or two for your pleasure. I have to say I am not the chef! I did not create the hors d'ouerves; I am only serving it to you. I will talk about serving.

===Lesson===
 
I am reminded, as no doubt you are also, of our Father/Brother Michael who, when he was a mortal, washed the feet of his apostles, and so this evening, symbolically speaking, I would wash your feet. How shall I wash your feet? How shall I serve you from this vantage point when you are finite and I am not? I have to honor your feet. I have to serve you in a way that you can appreciate that I am intending to, and in my essence, am, indeed, providing you a service.

What can I do for you this evening? There was a great deal of chatter among you earlier. Shall I take my three-minute turn at sharing and I will have your undivided attention ...

===Closing===
 
My thanks to you for your companionship and my thanks to Merium for her blessed contribution to our community. It is a marvelous experience indeed, this expansion of community, for how wonderful it is to enjoy the expanded consciousness brought on by the sharing with others, and so this week, my friends, go forth and share.
