Join us every Wednesday night for a short Lectio Divina practice, beginning at 6 p.m. and running until 6:20 p.m., using the scripture for the following Sunday as a meditative focus. After that practice the space opens up for our community nights, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The schedule for the next several weeks includes:\
TONIGHT: The Green Team opted to postpone tonight's monthly meeting in order to watch the Vice Presidential debate. We'll meet instead of a half-hour check in on Sunday morning before church, from 9:30 to 10 a.m. We'll talk about our pre-election actions to get out the Green vote, and other future Green Team plans. However, Lectio divina practice is still happening tonight, beginning at 6 p.m. with Pastor Lauren and others providing some space for prayer and reflection over the coming Sunday's scripture: Exodus 32:1-14.
Parables Study: The Justice Bible Study is turning its focus on parables, and to do this we're studying the book Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi by Amy-Jill Levine. Join Pastor Lauren & Pastor Yuki as we take a fresh look at the tricky tales Jesus told, that we thought we knew by heart. We will craft a covenant to be generous readers & with one another as we really look to recover the sense of provocation and challenge that these parables would have brought to those in Jesus first century audience. The first night of the study will be Wednesday, Oct. 14, and we'll study the introduction, plus chapters 1, 2 and 3.
Storytelling: Join us on Oct. 21 for Keystone's Wednesday Story Night! Tonight we'll begin telling stories under the theme of "Transcendence."
Concerns of the World: A new focus for our Wednesday community gatherings is a night dedicated each month where we can come together to share our concerns about things that are going on the world. Come to vent, worry, and pray in community about the things that are happening around us all. The first night of this gathering will be Oct. 28.
Our Wednesday night community space opens up at 6:20 p.m., after the weekly Lectio Divina practice, with the evening gathering officially starting at 6:30 p.m., in the same Zoom space we use on Sunday mornings and for our other gatherings (look for a Cheat Sheet with the info coming in your email every Wednesday night!).
