We are undergoing renovation and looking forward 

to increasing our capacity for awe, encountering the 

Divine God, playing frisbee and sharing a meal with you!

In the interim, we encourage you to try out some traditional

worship with us at Saluda United Methodist Church on Sunday

mornings at 11.

4/17 Maundy Thursday Communion Service at 7 p.m. (remembering Jesus' Last Supper)
4/18 Good Friday Community Service at Tryon Congregational Church at noon

4/20 Traditional Easter Service at 11 a.m.

Palm Sunday?
Here's Wiki's response:

Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus'triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in all four canonical Gospels.^[3]

In many Christian churches, Palm Sunday includes a procession of the assembled worshipers carrying palms, representing the palm branches the crowd scattered in front of Jesus as he rode into Jerusalem. The difficulty of procuring palms in unfavorable climates led to their substitution with branches of native trees, including box, yew,willow, and olive. The Sunday was often designated by the names of these trees, as in Yew Sunday, or by the general term Branch Sunday.

No Stone Soup because of Memorial Service

We won't have Stone Soup on Sunday 4/6
because of the Celebration of Life for Barbara Siler that afternoon.
Peace,
Rob

We're supporting Frisbee Outreach

We're going to work on getting a good frisbee group going...So
Stone Soup, for March 30, plays frisbee at Harmon Field this week. Everybody can meet at 1:45 at the Wesley cottage. Then everyone can carpool with Rob down to the field to play ultimate frisbee with Thomas. If the weather is bad Stone Soup will be canceled. 
Bring snacks and drinks for refreshment.
We're working on the Fruits of the Spirit series (Galatians 5:22-23)  and this week is Kindness and Generosity.  We'll look at generosity in the feeding of the 5000 (John 6:1-15)

Ultimate Frisbee March 23

Stone Soup, for March 23, plays frisbee at Harmon Field this week. Everybody can meet at 1:45 at the Wesley cottage. Then everyone can carpool down to the field to play ultimate frisbee with Thomas. If the weather is bad Stone Soup will be canceled. 

Stone Soup 2:00 p.m...Not a spirit of cowardice, but rather of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Stone Soup Meets at 2 p.m. this week.
If the weather permits we'll carpool down to Harmon Field to play Ultimate Frisbee.

If the weather keeps us inside, we'll have movie day and watch the Croods.
We're working on the Fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23 and this week we're looking at the fruit of self-control. Another great Bible verse that goes with this life in the Spirit comes from 2 Timothy1:7 for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline. It goes well with the movie The Croods.
Bring movie snacks we can share no matter what we do.
We should be done by 4:30 pm.

Staying Safe in the Face of Danger

Sunday 3/9 Ground School: Rock Climbing Training and Instruction
Scott and Christy Thrift will be teaching us rock climbing safety techniques this week.
We won't actually be climbing cliffs but will be learning what we need to be successful and stay safe when we do climb later in the spring. They are the owners and leaders of Thrifty Adventures (thriftyadventuresnc.com)

Our lesson will focus on how we stay safe in life when it feels dangerous. We'll talk about the questions of what to do when we feel loveless, hopeless and meaningless.
We'll look at Corinthians and other scriptures And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love. Corinthians 13:13

For dinner, I'll bring bread, PB and J, you bring what you want for sandwiches or to go with them.
