Sacred_MealSacred Meal ::
Miracles?
 
Sunday, August 16, 6pm
 
Community Conversation
& Communion 
 
Our community conversation/ exploration this week is about "miracles"--what is a miracle? Do they still happen? Where is God--"outside" the natural world or in it--and how does God's "power" enter into human experience?
 
Dinner this week: 
We're still enjoying our new BBQ grill! Scott purchased it, but we need to keep taking up a special offering until we're able to reimburse him. Bring a few extra dollars to chip in. 
 
If it rains, we'll probably still grill but eat inside...but if it's sunny, garden, here we come.
 
It's a potluck, as always!

Friday, September 11
 
SAVE THIS DATE!
 
Last year we have a fabulous sketch comedy show. This year?? We're auditioning performers this week. We think it will be sketch comedy or a musical review. Details TBA soon!
 
It's less than a month away, but the Mercury is DONATING the use of their theatre to us on a FRIDAY night.
 
 So save the date and invite your friends now.
 
Tix will probably be about $25
