This Sunday at Stone Soup, we'll meet at 5 and continue our work in "We Make the Road by Walking" as our "quest for spiritual formation, reorientation and activation."
This week we will share together in Holy Communion but won't have supper.
The church has an Administrative Council meeting at 7. All are encouraged to come.
We pick up our study continuing the creation story from Genesis... "The story of Adam and Eve doesn't need to be about literal historical figures in the past to tell us something very true about us, our history, and our world today. We humans have consistently chosen the wrong tree. Instead of imitating and reflecting God as good image bearers should do, we start competing with God, edging God out, playing god ourselves. We reject the Creator and choose another model instead: a snake (the story says), who seems to represent a subtle and dangerous desire to choose rivalry and violence over harmony and well-being."
This leads us into a discussion about sin and the cycle of shame. And that's when we share communion together. We'll look at sin and seek forgiveness and the way of life that Jesus leads us in.
Read these scripture ahead. It will be helpful.
Genesis 3:1-13
Psalm 32
Philippians 2:3-11
No need to bring anything unless you just feel like it!
Peace,
Rob
