Spiritual Potluck

Friday, April 25, 2025

Everyone is welcome to the April Spiritual Potluck. The church will be open by 5:30.  Meal starts shortly after 6, and we close down by 8:00. 

While usually the subject matter arises spontaneously in the group, this session is dedicated to reflections of the late Pope Francis, who died this week.

Where We Live: Critical Perspectives on our Built and Natural Environments - Saturday, April 26, 2025

We have a great workshop coming up April 26th. Here is the registration link. I attach the posters here. Catherine Keller is a total gem and one of the really remarkable theologians thinking deeply about our climate and political crises. She's also a good friend of John Thatamanil, for those who remember John. The event includes lunch. Cost is $10 + tax, but that can be waived in the registration process if cost is an obstacle. 

Would be great to have a crew out to join in the conversation!

Cheers,
Scott

Theme: Rooted and Rising.

From our roots laid down for us, from our past, to rising up and putting our best foot forward, and standing up for what we believe in. Like the rising of the sun in the east, each day starts with a light glow at the break of the day, to the flourishing beams at midday. As the hours pass becoming more powerful.

Each time you rise, your roots will become greater and stronger. Like a community, with just a few people, it would not survive, but the more roots, the more people in the community, the more likely it will thrive. Just like in the parable of the mustard seed, the mustard seed starts as the smallest seed. Growing its roots, to rise into a bright yellow flower. Where will you rise to? How deep will your roots go?

Fun fact: did you know that Saskatchewan is the world’s number one exporter of mustard seeds?
