Rethinking Church pt. 2

Get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted.
Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually.
To be spiritual is to be amazed.
Abraham Heschel

We had a wonderful Stone Soup last week. We talked of all the great and varied worship experiences we've had over the years. We spoke of  how much things have changed and simultaneously stayed the same.
Then we asked folks to, "describe your most significant spiritual experiences." We heard accounts of powerful experiences of God in nature, at graveside, in critical life moments, etc. but not in the church box.
So this week, our second session on "What kind of church do we (and the next generation) need?" continues the conversation. Maybe the question should include a larger scope, "What kind of church does our community need?" (we can talk more about how we should form our question)
If you could design an important spiritual experience, what would it look like?
If you could design a spiritual experience to share, what would it look like?

We'll celebrate around the table with Italian night. Rob will bring pasta and red sauce, you bring whatever you want to go with it.

We'll meet at the Wesley Cottage at 5 p.m.  Let me say that again,
WE'LL MEET AT THE WESLEY COTTAGE AT 5 P.M.
and be through by 6:30 (so everyone can get home and get their homework done…

Next week begins Lent (google it) and we'll begin a series entitled "Learning to Walk in the Dark" modeled after Barbara Brown Taylor's book by the same title (you can google that too)
Peace,
Rob
