On The Table

The Weekly Announcement of Common Table Church

Thursday, March 31, 2011

March 28 through April 3

Dear Church--

A few weeks ago, we had a chance to introduce a grassroots organization that has a lot of resonance with Common Table: The Relational Tithe. Jackie and Mike Stav shared from their experience as RT participants, and got a lot of us thinking and asking some great questions about how Common Table can continue to develop in the area of relational giving. This week, we'll have a special treat: Darin Peterson, one of the co-founders of Relational Tithe (and Developer of Consp!re Magazine and Executive Director of The Simple Way in Philadelphia) will be in town with his family to see the cherry blossoms. We've invited him to pull up a chair at the Common Table, with our own Pete Bulanow acting as interlocutor and facilitator, to help us continue to listen and learn and give us a chance to ask some probing questions. Please join us at 10am at Jammin' Java prepared to be provoked and to think afresh about how we can become an even bigger blessing to our friends and neighbors.

But there is much more to CT than just Sunday morning. Behold the wonder:

- We'll be gathering at The Lamb Center for Karaoke from 6:30 - 8pm on Friday.

- There is a pilgrimage to Woodbridge on Saturday night to see the red-hot cover band Hot-Sin-a-Men, the hottest and most sinny of which is our own Matt Maisel.

- 9:30am Club will be gathering on Sunday before the service to sing some praises-- bring your voice, your instrument, your poem, or just your ears to listen in.

- Oh! And it's the first Sunday of the month, so we could do our book swap! (This will require at least one person bringing at least one book.)

- And if anyone wants to host a simple Lenten meal this week or next, please speak up. If you can host it, you're off the hook for food.

Okay? Okay! Okay,

Mike Stavlund
