Schedule and stuff

Coming up this week:

Tuesday: Talk with Us, “God Within” at the TV Lounge MBSC

Wednesday: Talk with Us, “Community” TV Lounge MBSC

Thursday: Cabinet at Jason’s Deli, 11:30 am


--“Talk with Us” is a series of jump ins at MBSC during the noon time. Led by Barbara Catterton, Liz Polivka and Fred Richart, we will gather and learn. Less than an hour. Get a jolt of God through progressive thought. Yes, friends, it is 2006, and God does not ask you to check your brains and life experience at the door. All are welcome.

--9/11 will find us at the bell tower from 10 minutes before to 10 minutes after the hour through the day. A variety of world faiths will have sacred scripture available. There will be a place for writing responses on a huge white sheet and some prayer. Calm, reflective, compassionate. Sounds great. I’ve been working on this with Marty Kalkowski, Catholic Campus Ministry, and Stacey Swan, LivingH20 (LCMS).




--A big synergy is locating around Thursday nite movies. So far, six churches have responded with delightful anticipation. That means they are ready to sponsor the weekly events.

The churches are: First United Methodist, 69th & Cass, Elkhorn Hills United Methodist, 204th, north of Dodge, St. Luke United Methodist, 120th, south of Dodge; St. Andrews UMC, 156th & Maple; First Central Congregational, 34th & Harney; Presbyterian Church of the Master, 108th, south of Maple; Faithful Shepherd Presbyterian, 165th & Center.

There will probably be more sponsoring churches.

Here’s how it could work. Thursday nights qt 6:30 or so, we’ll gather at a sponsoring church, have free food and a movie, discussion and brief emerging worship. The sponsoring church’s Young Adult/College age group gets to provide food, choose the movie prepare for the discussion, and plan the worship (with candles, of course). I or we will fill in the blanks, offer transportation and generally hype it up.

This way, the groups of local churches are strengthened and so are we. Not to mention we get a night out that is really super.

Think about it. We’re open to suggestions about starting. This next week or so we’ll try to organize a schedule. Touch base and pray often.

God’s Blessings
