Sounded like everyone liked the idea but couldn't make it last week...

So we're going to try frisbee again.

Judge not lest ye be judged.  (Matthew 7:1-3)
Forgive as you too have been forgiven. (Colossians 3:13)
Come on, let's just play.  (The Field of Ultimate Frisbee)

Stone Soup will meet at 2 p.m. Sunday 9/28. We’ll have our reflection time first and then carpool down to PCHS for community Ultimate Frisbee. Everybody bring snacks and/or refreshments to renew us all after a time of sweating!

You can play as much or as little ultimate as you want.
It doesn't matter what your skill level is, nobody is perfect on the field. It's just important to keep playing and not to get down on yourself or others.

Matthew 18:21-22
Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, how many times should I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Should I forgive as many as seven times?" Jesus said, 'Not just seven times, but rather as many as seventy-seven times.

Then next week we will continue the Lost and Found theme as we go  hunting gems in downtown Saluda at the Saluda Gem Mine Wicks and Wares. Group rate is $8 but we'll cover half that, so just bring $4 per person who wants to hunt gems. This should be a great lesson and lots of fun for the younger kids!

Stone Soup will meet Sunday 9/14/14 at the Wesley Cottage in the Saluda UMC parking lot at 4 p.m. We’ll explore how we’re doing in our spiritual journeys. When is a spiritual journey hard, or beautiful? We’ll look at the differences between being lost, loosing something and just being disoriented.

We’ll take our first lesson by playing some games about being located, like Hide and Seek for the little kids and Man Hunt for the bigger kids.

“…and the man [Adam] and his wife [Eve] hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, ‘Where are you?’”   Genesis 3:8b-9

Bring sandwiches to share, Stone Soup will provide drinks and chips for light supper to follow.

Church Potluck Picnic This Sunday!

We'll meet at the Wesley Cottage at Church at 4:15 this Sunday 9/07/14 and carpool to Hilda's house for a picnic. Chicken will be provided so everyone can bring a veg/salad/dessert or whatever potluck dish.
We'll play softball, ultimate frisbee, horse shoes and whatever else you need to do to make a gathering an official picnic. Fun and games start at 4:30 and the eating begins at 5.
Here's our scripture for reflection and practice:

Romans 13:8-10

Love for One Another

 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet’; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
