OH NO! My Metaphor is Failing…
Hey all – I’m not normally a fan of church signage, and I’m grateful to not have the responsibility for putting one up. But I did see one this week that made me smile. It said, “Blessed are those that stay home and flatten the curve, for they shall save lives”. Solid…
So…stay home, wash your hands, show your care for others in creative and safe ways…and fire up your device to join us in cyberspace at 10:45 a.m. for some music and Community Time, followed by a livestreamed Talky Bit exploring the limits and intrigues of metaphors in spiritual exploration and in life in general. All this, and you can stay in your ‘jammies. Life might not be “all good”, but there’s good to be found.
Kids Table – keep your eyes on The Table Facebook page here for the weekly post of a theme for the young ones to explore. Last week saw the kids posting art and ideas on the topic of “hope”. I’m looking forward to what less distracted imaginations might have to offer this week!
Finances – thanks to all who continue to give. For those who have asked (and maybe for some that didn’t), our “not in person” options for giving now include e-transfers. Information about that and other available options can be found here. If you do want to give via e-transfer, please contact me regarding what security question and password to use. You can reach me by replying to this email.
Speaking of which – thanks to all who have awakened their hidden pen-pal selves to engage in ongoing correspondence. I’m loving the conversations via email! I miss you all, and I’m very grateful for the open-hearted, big-minded chats we’ve got going on. I don’t think I’m at capacity yet, so bring it on. 🙂
Regarding the “re-opening” of our province and the implications for The Table – at this point the path forward for regathering a community such as ours remains unclear. Sorry – I expect you’ve heard that kind of language enough times to take you beyond frustrated. In our Leadership Team Zoom meeting this past week we discussed some options and concluded that for the time being our best offering is “We’ll keep a close eye on the situation, and keep you posted”. Hang in there!
I’m looking forward to (almost) being together on Sunday!
Peace,
Tim Plett
