 Welcome to the sol café!
Come for a coffee and let God feed your soul...
The sol café is a Christian community that formed in Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada, on a quest to learn more about God in an "un-church" environment.
If you are new to the sol café, click here to learn a little bit more about
us, check out our sol café manifesto and menu of food for thought, or browse through the postings below. And welcome to the conversation!
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am
I in the midst of them."
— Matthew 18:20
The sol cafe follows the Revised Common Lectionary as a guide for its weekly gatherings and studies. Never heard of it? We hadn't either until just recently. Click here for more info...

a sol cafe gathering, Sunday September 14
Greetings all and apologies for the late posting!
On Sunday, September 14, the sol cafe will be meeting at Cafe Dabar (10816 Whyte Ave), starting around 4 pm. We're expecting less than our usual numbers as we have a number of regulars with a Chinese cultural background (or spousal influence!) who will be celebrating the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (think Chinese Thanksgiving) with family. As a result, the plan is to have a simple time of prayer, read this week's verses from the Revised Common Lectionary (see below), and see where God wants us to go.
Hope to see you there!
This week's RCL verses are:

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:

Celebration Sunday—Potluck Style!
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.Acts 2:42-47 (NIV)
On Sunday March 2nd at 5ish the sol cafe will be meeting at Rob & Amanda's abode for a meal celebrating the end of the annual sol cafe fast. In the spirit of the early church everyone is encouraged to bring a part of the meal and join with us as we sit down to a family dinner. For directions to Rob & Amanda's please contact Shirley and just in case you forget or get lost a couple of regulars will be at Cafe Dabar (10816 Whyte Ave) to pickup any stragglers.
