God's little bricks
On Sunday, April 20, 2008, the sol cafe will be doing something a little different... a bit of volunteer work perhaps atypical of a church, but a service to our community nonetheless.
Instead of being in our usual coffee shop location, we'll be meeting at 5 pm in the main lobby of the Telus World of Science Edmonton, 11211 142 Street. They need some help taking apart a Lego® sculpture that was made over the summer and sorting the bricks into colours.
Our church's connection is that one of our regulars works at the Telus World of Science, saw a need and made the connection. She has a cousin who said he would come if she could convince him how Lego® is connected to Church. She told him that we are each God's little bricks and by connecting us together He creates incredible things.
Perhaps more profoundly, this is, for her, a public declaration of her faith, in her workplace no less, and a place where faith is not often the first thing on the agenda. Perhaps the question should not be about how Lego® is connected to Church, but how she is.
Hope you can join us and be a part of building some connections with our community, building memories with one another, and building God's church. If you are a bit late, just tell the Box Office you're there for the sol cafe. They'll know where we are. We will read scripture and pray together and dwell among the brick.
The verses for this week from the Revised Common Lectionary are:
