At Third Thursday, we gather over coffee, beer, wine, food, and conversation. This month’s topic is about what makes a text “Inspired” or “Sacred.” This came out of a discussion at book club, where we pondered what made the Bible more sacred or inspired than a book of poetry or, say, the Lord of the Rings. Come out and share your wisdom and listen for the wisdom of others. All opinions welcome, as long as you also listen to others.
On July 21 the neighborhood around our Sunday Morning Gathering site is transformed into a walking festival. This is the one Sunday a year we don’t worship. Instead, we will be out on the streets with the bands playing, the cotton candy machine spinning sugar, and other activities all day long.
Sign up to volunteer during a shift, and wear your “Walking the Dogma” T-shirt! (or get one at the event).
Do not forget sunscreen and water!

This Summer our book discussion is Kathleen Norris’ book Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith. In this book, Norris is in the process of reconstructing her faith, and to do that she takes a bunch of church words that are scary to her or don’t make sense, and writes brief essays on how she comes to terms with those words. It fits well with our #WalkingTheDogma summer theme! We will have three discussions on the book, all at Moon Palace on Tuesday evenings at 7:30:
June 25th: (This night we will be outside Moon Palace/Geek Love) Discussing approximately the first 123 pages (Through Virgin Mary: Mother of God).
July 23rd: Discussing pages 124 (Anger)-252 (Conversion: Ebenezer)
August 20th: 253-the end.
Conversations are casual; people eat and drink. Come with notes and parts you like highlighted and we’ll see where the conversation leads.

Worship is on the road this week at the Minnehaha Pavilion at Minnehaha Falls Regional Park, right by Minnehaha Falls, and just down the sidewalk from Sea Salt restaurant. Come for worship at 10:30 and stay for the annual Potluck Picnic. We will provide hamburgers and hotdogs grilled by our “Ministers of Fire.” If you are able, bring something to share, or sign up to bring buns or beverages.
This is one worships service where your dogs are welcome! You have to pay to park, so it is also a good day to carpool, take the train or bike. Bring sunscreen and water bottles!
