Amateur Prophets
Hey folks – happy summer! When the humidex bumps into the 40’s and you feel sweaty from the moment you step out the door in the morning, you know it’s July in Manitoba! I hope you have access to a cool drink or a shady place when we gather this week. We’ll meet here at 10:45 a.m. for some music and Community Time, followed by the Talky Bit. In said Talky Bit we’ll be exploring how we can all be amateur prophets. Does that sound hazardous to you, or like something best left to professionals folks that like attention? I’m hoping to undermine some of those stereotypes a bit. Show up and judge me. 🙂 I’m off on some vacation days starting on Monday, so I’ll have time to recover from any especially scathing reviews. Talky Bits for the next three weeks will be in the capable (and always engaging) hands of Tim Penner, Arielle and Judi H, which I think is something to look forward to.
We’re still working on a plan for some kind of outdoor “hang out” in August. I had a chance to see a few folks from our community in person this past week, and it felt great! I’m glad we’ve got some online options, but there’s no substitute for face-to-face. That said, our first commitment is to gather in ways that show care for others, and that honor the public health directives we have to work with. Watch this space for updates.
Meantime, I’ll see you online on Sunday.
Peace,
Tim Plett
