Stone Soup for 9/30/12
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD...
AND BRING GOOD MUSIC...
WE'LL LOOK AT THE POWER OF OUR WORDS AND LISTEN/SING WHATEVER YOU BRING.

"For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies. Or look at ships: though they are so large that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits." (James 3:2-5 NRSV)

Speak with integrity.  Say only what you mean.  Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.  Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Jesus said, "Let your word be “Yes, Yes” or “No, No”; anything more than this comes from the evil one." (Matthew 5:37 NRSV)

Our food theme for this week will be APPLES. Anything with apples. Remember that there is more to apples than desserts, they can be in savory dishes with proteins too.

(these are apples we gleaned with Society of St. Andrew a couple of years ago)

Oct 7 we’re doing a SCLT hike on the upper Camp Creek and then ending up at Rob and Ali’s house for bonfire and cookout. Stay the night if you want and we’ll see if we can get some rock climbing in the next day (teacher work day)!

The man who had it all
Discovered
That he had it all...
Wrong

Stone Soup for September 16th...

We will meet at 4 p.m. at the Wesley Cottage. Katrina’s bringing Gypsy Soup, Ali’s baking bread, we need a salad (if someone would reply to that) and everyone needs to bring a mug or bowl for your soup. We’ll be watching the documentary movie, “I Am”. The movie follows a man who “had it all” but then discovers he “had it all wrong”. He then makes this documentary asking religious, political and scientific leaders from around the globe, “What’s wrong with the world and what can we do about it?” Together, we discover what’s right with the world. Come join us in our journey together as we connect our faith and spirit to God and the world. “I am the vine, you are the branches!” Read John 15:1-11in preparation for our worship and reflection together. We can eat while we watch the movie, so we can be done by 6:30 p.m.

Baked Potato Night
John 21:15-19 feed my lambs
Luke 14:15-24 everyone invited to the great dinner

We'll meet at 4 at the Wesley Cottage. The worship theme is the transforming love of God that brings hospitality, healing, justice, and celebration.
So we'll also practice our skills of celebrating. I'll bring baked potatoes. You bring what you want to put on them or eat with them.
We'll have frisbee golf if anyone wants to play. Kids (and adults) bring any games you want to play. If you need to get home for home work and such, we'll plan to finish up by 6 p.m.
Peace,
Rob
