snow & water & kingsolver

Loving this wonderful blanket of fluffy white-stuff on the ground! Come on by this sunday for watershed, and we'll hear the profound story of when an outcast and a savior meet...and share water. PS- thanks for those who came to serve lunch on monday- it went great, many kudos to the chefs!! PPS- I totally shared an organic & local meal in VA with Barbara Kingsolver's husband (and 5 other young presby minister types) on Thurs. So eco-inspiring!!

the journey of Faith continues... AND SERVE LUNCH

We are pilgrims and we are strangers, as we walk along in faith. Tonight (2/17) at 7pm we meet both Abraham and Nicodemus, and think together about this journey we are on as fellow pilgrims. Come join us!
Also, tomorrow (President's Day, Monday)- we will meet at 12:30 downstairs in the kitchen to prepare and then serve a lunch to our guests at the Community Day Center. Many homeless go without breakfast and lunch on holidays as the Salvation Army is closed - so we can help fill this gap - and put into practise some of our lenten call to "works of love".

our journey begins...

Lent 2008. A great opportunity for us to open our eyes in a new way. Come this sunday as we think about ashes, wilderness and bread. "You are invited to a holy lent, a time of self-examination & penitence, prayer & fasting, giving to the poor & works of love, and reading & meditation on the Word of God.”

Lent begins...

Ash Wednesday is this coming Weds, Feb. 6th. We're having a service with imposition of ashes (where we get ashes put on our foreheads and remember that we are but ash and to ash we will return), and communion. The service will be at the Burlington Pres. church at 7:30pm - we'll meet to carpool at 6:30 at the church. Hope to see you there. Come on sunday Feb 10 to learn more about what the season of Lent is all about. And this week, let's keep the nation of Chad in our prayers, as we also continue to pray for Kenya.
