Play by play: June 22nd
In the first round, there was a recap on our family meeting two weeks ago. It was brought up that maybe we could open ourselves up to teaching/preaching during the year by advertising with seminaries and colleges around the city. We also spoke about our visibility within the Edmonton community, and discussed different ways to let people know we exist.
During the second round of the bout, Sol decided that due to the summer solstice passing, we have to readjust our church clock and start meeting an hour earlier at 4 o'clock. If this logic makes no sense to you, you should come and find out who we are, and it suddenly will all come together.
In the third round, Shirley shared about her journey this past week, and spoke movingly about the need for vulnerability and honesty within community. Communion was then shared, after reading the classic passage from 1 Corinthians 11.
In the fourth round, Bethany took us back in time to the Council of Nicea and the great theologian Athanasius. We found out about the huge implications one letter can have if the words you are looking at are "homoousia" and "homoiousia", and saw how one man's faith and perseverance have shaped the Christian faith forever.
In the fifth and final round, Shirley pulled out her guitar and played for us, while we discovered that one of our regulars won't be around for the rest of the summer. We'll miss you Ravenne!
