Friends, come help shape our winter book study. We have been hacking down our sizable stack of desired books. Tonight we will revisit our mission & order our books. We will then begin formal discussion on Wed. Jan. 26 @ 6:30 pm.

It is possible that our reading The Story Luke Tells: Luke’s Unique Witness to the Gospel by Justo L. Gonzalez. will be a day-time additional study.

We look forward to doubling our pace through our materials this winter, as we shift up to now holding our book studies on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month. See the light brown box below for more details.

Wed. Jan. 12: Lectio Divina Practice: 6-6:30 pm

Hello, come give yourself some centering time, in a small drop in circle, that will meditate on the upcoming Sunday scripture, with a few minutes of silence, and sparse reflection. Practice is a couple Wednesday evenings per month.

Our text for Jan. 16 is John 2:1-11. Here is a prompt below from poet pastor Steve Garnaas-Holmes.

See you in the zoom space. Call or email the church for the link, or get it right here: fill in your email contact.

             Now standing there were six stone water jars 
           for the Jewish rites of purification,
           each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
                           —John 2.6


Beloved,
you change the water of my life
into the wine of your touch,
if only I taste.
What was plain becomes mystery. 
The cup of want
becomes jugs of abundance,
a lifetime.  
The jars of obligation, 
the pots of my attempts, 
my hope of being acceptable,
my rite of shame and inadequacy,
you fill with delight instead.

Beloved, I see now—
this wedding must be mine.



Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
