Hi church!
There's actually a lot going on this lovely weekend. So let's get to it!
Tonight (Friday night)! The All New Amazing Great Book Club will gather at
the home of Maggie, Schuyler, Levi, and Adah to discuss the book
Blindness by Jose Saramago. Says Schuyler: "Come over after work to have some food, drinks and discussion about the book. There should be plenty of street parking, but if the street is full, there are four guest spots right in front of the main door to our building. Unfortunately, the call-up box doesn't work, so to get in you'll either have to wait for one of our nice neighbors to let you in when they get home or just call us at 202-330-2359 or 509-952-5106 and we will rush down and let you in." This book is generating strong reactions, so come on by even if you didn't read it - the rants should be entertaining.
Sunday morning! It's the return of the 9:30am Club! At 9:30am at
Jammin' Java, come on by if you like music: playing it, singing it, or listening to it. We're getting the band back together again!
Then, immediately following that, at 10am SHARP (no, seriously - we mean it this time), we'll begin our congregational meeting (not a usual worship service) with prayer. Then we'll do our meeting, ending with communion. Please note: although everyone is welcome, the main part of the meeting will be pretty un-engaging for newcomers. So: you're welcome, but if you think all that bizness talk would make you feel less than welcome, please regard this weekend as another "off" weekend for CT, as far as a Sunday morning service is concerned.
And finally: Sunday afternoon! Says Moff: "There is a free interfaith walk to commemorate 9/11 on Sunday afternoon in DC. Here's the website:
http://www.911unitywalk.org/. I think it's possible for several of us to make it if we chow down on the Chipotle kinda quick-like."
And that's the deal. Keep an eye on the Core List for a loose agenda for the congregational meeting. See you soon!
Peace,
Mike Croghan
