Dear Church:
We'll be meeting at
Jammin' Java at 10am this week, to continue our Lenten look at Jesus and his confounding teachings. This week, we'll dive into the collection of parables in Matthew 13, and see how they might upend our view of the world, and our lives, and even of Jesus. So bring your Bible, and your seatbelt.
Too, please mark you calendar for a wonderfully busy weekend in March:
On Friday, March 7, people from all over the country will be converging on Washington, DC to advocate for peace as we remember the anniversary of the War in Iraq. Some of us will be a part of a gathering of some friends of
emergent at historic New York Avenue Presbyterian Church at noon, followed by a processional as we gather with other faith communities at the Capitol at 2:30. More information on the larger event can be found
here.That same evening, some of us will be gathering in Vienna to experience some
Deep Shift with Brian McLaren and friends. This event will continue on Saturday, March 8, as well.
And since they'll be in town for both of the above events, our friends
The Cobalt Season asked if they could join us for our gathering on Sunday morning, March 9. Their music and message should make a wonderful complement to our Lenten series, and we're honored to have them aboard.
Mike Stavlund
