     “Mara Schulze from The Miracle Center stopped by our Grace Packs pantry today to deliver 1400 granola bars for our kiddos!! 

Also, we want to thank Director Jess Marsh, Mara Schulze, and all the members of The Miracle Center for this amazing donation. We are so blessed to have a caring partner like The Miracle Center supporting our mission to fight food insecurity within our local community. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” Pat Agricola- Grace Packs Pantry Coordinator.

     48 of the 50 Miracle principles describe a miracle as an ordinary act of love. We need to change our idea of what a miracle is. By equating a miracle with walking over water or a dramatic shift in perception, it puts the idea of a miracle beyond what we can easily do. Collecting granola bars for needy children: this is a miracle and one fairly easily managed! Last month we did a breakfast drive for Grace Packs which feeds over 750 St. Lucie school children every week. Miracles are acts of cooperation, and we would never be able to distribute this food without the efforts of Grace Packs and their amazing volunteers. 

     This month we are doing a collection for Tent City Helpers of Martin County. We are making snack packs for them and collecting cans with pop up tops to go with that. Remember our temporarily homeless brothers and sisters do not necessarily have can openers so all canned goods must be ready to eat and have pop up tops for this collection.

     Our entire class archive is online as is a blog of class notes that gets updated weekly. Our class archive is open sourced, so comments are disabled but please email or call me with any questions that you have about this work. 

     It’s becoming a frequently asked question at The MC: What are your political views here? We have no political views, left or right, and we love them all and all are welcomed. The Course is not inherently political, and I would like to acknowledge the difference between The MC and Course teachers elsewhere who have a political ax to grind. 

       Here’s another thing I hear a lot, “I have a copy of that book at home, I didn’t understand it.” That’s why The MC is here to be your guide through the woods of the Course. Having a teacher with (temporarily) more Course information than you can really illuminate the work. 

     I hope to see you at The MC soon. If you are reaching our messaging from beyond Florida’s Treasure Coast, I’d like to encourage you to bring miracles in small ways to your own neck of the woods.

Love and Rowdy Blessings,

       Jess
