Learning to Walk in the Dark

Change of Venue! Because of icy conditions at the church, we will meet at Hope Pace's house on Gaffney St. Call Rob if you need help getting there 828-606-3452. Just park along the street and walk up to the house.

Stone Soup will meet from 5-6:30 on Sunday 2/22. (Be careful, the parking lot may still have icy spots) Call Rob if you want a ride from downtown or something)

We’ll start a series called “Learning to Walk in the Dark” based on Barbara Brown Taylor's book by the same name. We're going to work on making friends of our fears and dealing with the difficult or scary things(see Dr Seuss above) in life so that we may live more fully. After all, the women who witnessed Jesus' resurrection had to know how to walk in the dark!
“Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.” John 20:1

We’ll eat breakfast for dinner. Rob will bring pancake batter and a griddle, you bring whatever else we need to eat!

For those who would like to receive the imposition of ashes, they will be available. It is a "dark" ritual. (Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of blessing ashes made from palm branches blessed on the previous year's Palm Sunday, and using them to make the sign of the cross on the foreheads of participants to the accompaniment of the words "Repent, and believe in the Gospel" or "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return")

All are welcome.
