THIS SUNDAY
Since Sunday is New Year's Day, we are offering a CAC hybrid gathering with Zoom games! Have your paper and drawing implements ready, please. It may be too early, but our teens are welcome here of course!
Youth are invited to CAC in person at Salt and Light, I'll be there in person.
If you are at home please join with the regular S & L Zoom ID: 503 287 7553, Password: 910512.
This Sunday, as a community, we'll be looking back and looking forward.
At CAC we will share our "Roses and Thorns" with added scope. We'll ask the question, "What is Our Greatest Vision for 'Leaven Community Rising 2023' ".
We'll prepare to share what we are exploring with the community.
We'll be taking turns reading this Sunday's scripture, Luke 2:15-21, from The Message and trying out the Lectio Divina process together to uncover meaning.
Hi there!
We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of the NE Kids Collective for 2023 for elementary school-age kids as well as their families. We will be having an info meeting with leaders, parents and folks who might be interested on Sunday January 22, 2023.
Building on the groundwork laid by Deacon Bonnie of Central Lutheran and Melissa Olmstead of Westminster Presbyterian, Dcn. Bonnie and I wish to continue journeying with our kids in discovering the all encompassing love of God as well as exploring the zillion ways this love can be known and expressed in our everyday lives.
The gatherings will be taking place on a monthly basis during the school year on Sunday afternoons starting on February 26.
Our times together will be highly interactive and revolve around creativity, celebration as well as hospitality as we seek to discover and enjoy the unconditional love of God in our lives. In each gathering, there will be extended times of imaginative hands-on exploration, a short time of celebration involving stories, prayer, songs, silliness, games, show and tell, etc. We hope to end each gathering with a meal together, enjoying each other’s company.
I invite you to come and explore with me and Dcn. Bonnie at our informative meeting on Sunday January 22 2023! We will meet at 3pm with the location being sent out closer to the date. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with either me or Dcn Bonnie.
