Sacred Space 3.5 {GNU Space}

The GNU Team did an incredible job of getting inspired by our current series of "Sacred Space". This week we didn't meet at Jammin Java ... instead, this is the one weekend per month that we intentionally set aside for extending the heart of our church outward and trying to bring a little of God's kingdom into the lives of our friends.

We gathered Saturday, the 26th, from 1 - 5pm for an afternoon of fun with the children of some friends of ours (some of whom we've gotten to know through previous service-worship projects) while the parents get a chance to take the afternoon off. We had organized activities (crafts, games, and snack-making) planned for the kids. And we had a blast!

Just check out these pictures!

Sacred Space 3 {Temporal Space}

The [Funk] is in the Space:



Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you.

For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.


Psalm 46: 10 "Be still, and know that I am God"

Sacred Space 1: {Physical Space}








A psalm of Brian of Maryland- Animals

for the baritone guitar

My secret wish... in this sacred place

Is to relinquish needs

The great constant is perpetual change

So when we leave, as we know we will

Some of us remains, consecrated and unchanged


Circles in stars they bind us now -- we're pretty animals

Colors around are bled of love -- we're hopeful animals

Kiss me now so we can feel alive -- we're conscious animals

Circles in stars they bind us now -- we're sacred animals


From blood we came... to ash we return again

These carbon hearts, and terrestrial hopes

From our first goodbye... to the last hello

Pray we carve our paths... from God's sacrosanct


The love we crave

that binds

bends

but never change

feeds faith in faith

that I search for in everything


Stars they bind us now

Around are bled of love - we're conscious animals

Kiss me now so we can feel alive -- we're conscious animals

Circles in stars they bind us now -- we're sacred animals

Circles in stars they bind us now -- we're pretty animals

Colors around are bled of love -- we're hopeful animals
A psalm of David of Israel - #8

According to gittith

O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory

above the heavens.


From the lips of children and infants

you have ordained praise

because of your enemies,

to silence the foe and the avenger.


When I consider your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,


what is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him?


You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

and crowned him with glory and honor.


You made him ruler over the works of your hands;

you put everything under his feet:


all flocks and herds,

and the beasts of the field,


the birds of the air,

and the fish of the sea,

all that swim the paths of the seas.


O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!
