A Genesis discussion

On Sunday, June 1, the sol cafe will be gathering around 5ish at Cafe Dabar (10816 Whyte Ave) to have a thoughtful discussion on this week's selection from the Revised Common Lectionary.
The texts are:

Genesis 6:9-22; 7:24; 8:14-19
Psalm 46
Romans 1:16-17; 3:22b-28, (29-31)
Matthew 7:21-29

Discussion will centre on the Genesis passage, as we continue our talk about biblical interpretation, and the culture and worldview of biblical authors.

Hope to see you there!

sol cafe thought for food

On Sunday, May 18, the sol cafe will be gathering around 5ish at Cafe Dabar (10816 Whyte Ave) to gather together for a little thought on food. We will spend a little time talking about where food comes from, consumption habits in Edmonton, and how the Bible can interact with what we think about food. And it will, of course, involve some eating!

It doesn't seem to relate directly to this week's readings from the Revised Common Lectionary, but here they are for your self-directed study:

Trinity Sunday May 18, 2008

Genesis 1:1-2:4a

Psalm 8

II Corinthians 13:11-13

Matthew 28:16-20

Hope to see you there!

a sol cafe Sunday

On Sunday, May 11, the sol cafe will be gathering around 5ish at Cafe Dabar (10816 Whyte Ave) to hear from one of our "roaming regulars", our good friend Ryan. One of the original sol cafe patrons, Ryan went on to do several years of work overseas and more recently has taken on Youth Pastor duties at another local church. But like other sol cafe regulars who now roam the world, you can take the person out of the cafe but you can never quite get the cafe out of the person. We're not sure yet what Ryan will be presenting, but we'll post details as soon as we get them.

It may or may not relate directly to this week's readings from the Revised Common Lectionary, but here they are for your self-directed study:

Day of Pentecost May 11, 2008

*Acts 2:1-21 or Numbers 11:24-30

Psalm 104:24-34, 35b

I Corinthians 12:3b-13 or Acts 2:1-21

John 20:19-23 or John 7:37-39

Hope to see you there!

Voices for Habitat

On Sunday, May 4, the sol cafe will be doing a change-up on its "usual" (if such a thing exists) Sunday evening gathering. Instead, the sol cafe will be joining in supporting the "Voices for Habitat" fundraising concert being held starting 7 pm at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church, 8420-145 Street, (which also happens to be home to sol cafe irregular Joe Walker). Full details on the event can be found by clicking here.

Come for the concert, or contact us if you're interested in volunteering and we'll get you in touch with the concert's volunteer coordinator. We can also help pick up tickets if you let us know that you plan on coming.

It has all the makings of a great evening of music and fellowship, in support of a great cause. Hope to see you there!
