nxt7


sunday july 5th

Ondrej and Emilie will be hosting our gathering, as Nick and Sue will be celebrating their daughter Katie's wedding (congratulations!). We will get a chance to see Katie for her photo session above the Undercroft, around 6:30, to congratulate her in person.

The plan for Sunday night is to focus on a reading from Nehemiah, a prophetic leader in the old testament.

We would encourage you to think, in preparation for Sunday evening, about a project that would unite us (and how it would unite us), just like the building of the walls of Jerusalem united the "exiles" (we will find out more about this in the reading).

What project would help us define our Christian identity as a group and individually? Ondrej and Em think that: a project that would unanimously (in one spirit) agree to would be a glorification of God - a project that would build us up as a community, relationally rather than the usual consumer-me-and-only-me-egocentrism. What does this mean practically? What shape would it take?

Come hungry!

Ondrej will prepare sabjee (Indian vegetarian stew) and rice. Emilie will prepare something (she doesn't know what yet - a desert and/or soup).

See you Sunday!
