yes at last! an idea that surfaced on a sunday evening earlier this year is being implemented!
the idea was to gather in a more kid friendly way (on the floor?) and do stuff that will be accessible to our younger emergers. meeting at 4.00pm should make it easier for families with young children, doing hands-on stuff (making puppets, acting out a story with the puppets and videoing it!) some special songs, then ending by eating a pot-luck supper together.finishing by 6.00 pm so people can head off to put the kids to bed, or head off for a coffee or a beer, or head off to watch the hockey (or possibly all three!)

so let your friends know about this especially if they have young children, and don't forget to come yourself and bring food for the pot-luck!!!

see you sunday!

while you were most probably sleeping we slipped gently into the season of Lent. some people love it, some loathe it , some just plain don't understand it! maybe one way to approach the season is to see it as an invitation to do some kind of reset on ourselves as whole life followers of Jesus. on Sunday we are going to play around with some possibilities, and see what we can cook up in terms of devising a recipe for a Lent reset.

so in the company of bread, soup, music, friends and worship you are invited to gather sunday february 21st at 5.00pm in the Undercroft. please don't forget to bring your imagination!

sunday february 14th

I guess it comes as no surprise to learn that the word 'love', occurs 687 (but who's counting?) times in the Bible. so what could be more appropriate for our Valentine's Day gathering than to examine love from a variety angles. maybe you have your own favourite description of love,(a song, poem, photograph, etc.) if so, bring it along with you and share it with us. there will be soup, bread, coffee, tea, great people, live music, prayer, talk and worship. it all starts at 5.00 pm in the Undercroft. hope to see you there!

spent last sunday evening at the Royal Vic having my cracked rib diagnosed. only took 2.5 hours, thanks to Canada's brilliant health care system!, so I missed all the fun in the Undercroft. so this sunday february 7th I intend to avoid patches of ice and make my way carefully down to the Undercroft for 5.00pm. we gather to celebrate the feast of God's victory, in bread & wine, with an accompanyment of coffee, tea, and music. all in the company of friends old and not so old! it was lonely sitting in Emergency last week, when I would rather have been sitting with the emerge community. missed you guys!
