Merry Christmas!

The sol cafe would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and ask all to take a moment and reflect on the reason we celebrate this wonderful occasion. There will be no official gathering on Sunday December 23 or 29, and all are encouraged to instead spend as much time as possible with those closest to them this Christmas. We look forward to seeing you all in the new year!

Casual Sunday

On Sunday, December 9, at around 5 pm, the sol cafe will be gathering at Cafe Dabar (10816 Whyte Ave) for an evening moved by the Spirit. A couple of possible seeds would be discussion of "The Great Emergence" as well as our week's verses from the Revised Common Lectionary, a shared calendar of Bible readings:

Second Sunday of Advent December 9, 2007

Isaiah 11:1-10

Psalm 72:1-7, 18-19

Romans 15:4-13

Matthew 3:1-12

Or maybe we will be moved in a different direction altogether. Just come with an open heart and an open mind and a spirit of worship and the evening will most certainly turn out the way it should. Hope to see you there!

Evan Almighty

On Sunday, December 2, the sol cafe will be gathering at 7:30 pm -- a slightly later time than usual -- at Cafe Dabar (10816 Whyte Ave) in order hold a screening of the movie Evan Almighty. Why, you ask? Because it is relevant, thought-provoking and very funny. A longer defense of movies in church can also be found by clicking here.

The later time is also because elves drafted from among the sol cafe regulars are helping with the Kids with Cancer Society Christmas Party being held at Galaxyland on Sunday afternoon. If you're interested in more details, drop us a line!

Finally, this week's verses from the Revised Common Lectionary are as follows:

First Sunday of Advent December 2, 2007

Isaiah 2:1-5

Psalm 122

Romans 13:11-14

Matthew 24:36-44

Hope to see you there!
