On The Table

This week the big news is that we wait with anticipation for the newest Common Table member to be added -- Baby girl Stav is due to arrive on the 31st of August, if not sooner. She joins many other fine CT women who celebrate August birthdays ;-). We have a meal schedule set up to give the Stavs some love during the busy time around welcoming a newborn. See Jackie if you are interested in providing a meal for them.

Breaking from our usual routine, we WILL be at Jammin' Java this weekend. Pete and I (Jackie) will lead a discussion looking at how we form (and how to form) nurturing spiritual environments. Drawing on clips from a Speaking of Faith interview with Rabbi Sandy Sasso on the Spirituality of Parenting, we will discuss what makes (what the are conditions for) a spiritually nurturing environment as well as how we (can) intentionally create those in church, home and elsewhere. Along the way, may also touch on what constitutes "success" in our spiritual journey (the right answers?), the role of story, and the importance of not missing those "teachable moments". We hope you can join us.

Stay tuned to hear what we have in store over the Labor Day weekend (weekend of September 4-6) which is the anniversary of Common Table!

That's it for now!
Hope to see you Sunday,
Jackie
