On The Table

Hey, church!

Wow...I'm speechless with a big Cheshire grin on my face. It is my distinct honor and pleasure to announce the birth of Common Table's newest member. Stacy and Mike and Ella Stavlund welcomed Ella's little sister (no word yet on her name) into their family and our community late Thursday, February 5th, 2009. She is 7 lbs., 3 oz., and has dark hair. Everyone is healthy. Please join us in joy and thanksgiving as we celebrate the amazing gift of the littlest Stav! Yaaaahooooo! :-D (Check out a picture and share your congrats right here!)

And, appropriately enough, we have a HUGE community celebration planned for this coming Sunday morning. Common Table invites you to be part of a special journey through music as we continue in our 2009 series exploring God's love with a worship service called "Love's Divine".

In this service we will draw from a number of compelling tunes (Sade, Alanis Morissette, Death Cab for Cutie, Seal, Mute Math) which authentically express our longings, satisfaction, comfort, healing, as well as disappointments with love.

Our twist, as we interact with the live performance of these songs, will be to listen to them through the lens of our individual relationship with God, and God's relationship with us (as best as we can imagine that).

First showing will be with Common Table @ Jammin' Java at 10am Sunday the 8th of February.

Second showing will be at Convergence' Artist Lab at 5pm Sunday the 22nd of February.

Please join us for one or both of these services. They will be (and I truly feel this bears repeating) epic.

And congratulations, you Stavs!!!!!

Peace, joy,
Mike Croghan
