This week at the Pancake House

October 19, 2014
Yep, this is THAT Sunday! Pancake Breakfast at 9:00 a.m, followed by our “normal” gathering. Come whenever you want / can, but be advised that if you care about bacon and you’re late for the pancake breakfast, no one can guarantee that there will be any of the deadly stuff left. Your call…

Other Important Dates To Note:

Kids Table – October 26th, and November  9th and  23rd.

Christmas Gathering – Sunday, December 21st evening. That will be our gathering for that week; we WON’T gather that morning.

This week I heard part of a documentary about the legendary eastern Canadian fiddle player Buddy MacMaster. As part of the doc, the producers had invited another fiddle player to join them by remote from a distant studio, and the challenge for Buddy was to tell the audience where he was from just by how he played. He rose to the occasion, correctly identifying not only the region the player was from but who it was!

That might seem like just a musicians “party trick”, but I found myself quite emotionally moved by it. Weird, right? So of course I had to probe that. The closest I can come to why that event got at my heart so directly was the idea that we long to be deeply known, and part of that longing is can be seen in our desire to have someone understand us even when we aren’t communicating with words. To me, that sounds a lot like what prayer is.

This week we’ll be exploring prayer in general, and in particular the prayer that Jesus offered as a response to the question “How should we pray?”.

See you on Sunday. We’ll meet at 10:30 a.m., as usual. You will find that our entry through Independent Jewellers has been somewhat altered, but once you get inside you’ll still find wonderful people, and room to explore.

Peace,

Tim Plett
