On The Table

On a Sunday morning a few weeks ago, we spent time thinking about the importance of nonverbal communication. But what happens when the nonverbal cues don't line up with the message or idea being presented in a way we might expect? Can God's Kingdom exist in dark places? Does seeking the light mean being only light-hearted? And what of using religious sounding epithets to incite hate? How are we to make sense of this?

At 10am this Sunday at Jammin' Java we will look at one way to think about all of this that may be helpful - and discuss other ways that may be helpful to sort through ideas. Bring your examples of confusing messages and contribute your thoughts during a discussion time as we refine the ideas we will present in "Vector Theology". We promise there won’t be too much math on your summer vacation.

Also, please remember that you are welcome to come early at 9:30 for an acoustic session of worship music. Bring an instrument (and an amp, if you like), your voice, and your kids if they're willing to dance. Or just bring yourself to pile into a chair and quietly soak in all of the above.

Looking forward, don't forget that we'll be gathering at The Lamb Center on Thursday, July 16 for a night of Karaoke with our friends there. As always, its a great chance to connect with others through music, and to give and receive some joy. Plan to enjoy some pizza, too. It's from 6:30 to 8pm. (And as a heads-up, please note that Karaoke will switch to first Fridays, starting in August.)

See you soon,

Mike Stavlund
