March 16, 2008
Palm Sunday, March 16, 5:00 
 
5:00  Spiritual Practice and Learning ("Following Jesus into Thin Places")
6:00  Shared meal (entre, salad, bread provided by those of you who signed up. Thanks!)
 
Come to one or both parts of the evening.
 
Noe will lead us through a reflection on U2's music video, If God Will Send His Angels. Rob will lead us in some songs. We'll talk. We'll eat. It'll be good.
 
Nobody else here baby
No-one else here to blame
No-one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain.
It's the blind leading the blind
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs.
 
Hey, if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright?

Good Friday, March 21, 7:00pm
Praying the Stations of the Cross
 
We gather at 7:00 for singing and contemplation before walking the pilgrimage along Jesus's last steps in Jerusalem.
 
We'll take the pilgrimage then re-gather for singing and sharing a simple Mediteranean meal of pita, feta, hummous, olives, baba ganoush, and so on...
 
 
That article was from last year, so don't get confused by the dates and times. We're gathering at 7:00pm on Friday, March 21 this year.
 
B.Y.O.Pillow
Bring your own pillow (seriously), as we'll sit on the floor for dinner, around low tables, as Jesus and his disciples would have at that time.
