last sunday

twenty eight of us of all ages got messy last sunday in the Undercroft. paper boats were made and decorated; wondrous windmills were constructed; worm jello was crafted into fish shapes before being consumed; water was splashed liberally! "wake up Jesus!" was our cry as we explored the boat ride that went pear-shaped, as recorded by Mark. friends from curieux.ca joined a bunch of emergers to spend a joyful couple of hours, including a yummy potluck supper. thanks to you if you were a part of the gathering!

sunday april 18th


we haven't celebrated the Lord's Supper for ages, so tonight as well as eating together, having some live music from Tanya, and looking together at some final instructions that Jesus left us, we'll celebrate, his victory over sin & death and his continuing presence with us, in the way he told us to. so do your best to get down to the Undercroft for 5.00 pm today. I know some of you are facing crunch time and can't make it, please know we will be praying for you.

emerge planning team meets tomorrow night (monday) at 8.00 pm, so please let me know if there are particular things would like us to discuss.

nxt 7



celebrating Easter in Havana, Cuba, as I did, was unusual to say the least. joining with other Christians last Saturday night, in a darkened Plaza de la Catedral around a flaming brazier, and then entering the Catedral with lighted candles, was a wonderfully dramatic way to commerate Jesus' rising from the dead.

wherever or however you celebrate it, the resurrection of Jesus is an amazing fact if history. the difficult thing is living in the ongoing reality of its happening. it was the event that transformed one hundred and twenty-odd scared and despairing disciples into a dynamic missional people. it potentially can do the same today.

sunday april 11th we gather at the Undercroft at 5.00pm to celebrate, to remember, and to examine how we are (or are not) living in the reality of Jesus' resurrection. food, drink, friends, scripture, worship, will all feature. see you there!
