Hey folks – I know I speak with considerable privilege when I say that I had a good relationship with my dad. It’s not something I take for granted. When we gather this week (at 10:45 a.m.,, VA Cafe) we will explore some of the implications of a couple of lessons I learned from my dad. Not “how to be a dad” lessons – just “how to live” lessons that…

Sometimes we encounter Bible passages that feel like a dense, tangled jungle—full of words and concepts that seem impossible to navigate. Hebrews chapter 2 is definitely one of those. In this message, we’ll take up our machete and start clearing a path through the thicket, uncovering remarkable vistas and powerful truths along the way!…

Hey all – we’re back at VA Cafe this week, in person. 10:45 a.m., Kids Table, Community Time, tunes, coffee available upstairs, and a different way of thinking about changing beliefs on tap downstairs. We’re gettin’ practical, folks. Speaking of practical, here’s a reminder of some dates to put on your calendar. No gatherings on June 29th, August 3…

Hey folks – this is a Full Circle Sunday, so we can all look forward to some Community Time, some music, and Kids Table. And, of course, to one more Sunday “in hell”. Or maybe “adjacent to hell”. I guess it all depends on what you mean by “hell”, right? And that’s exactly what we’re exploring, so that works out nicely. This week we’ll spend a littl…

And also a (very) short blurb! This week, we’ll be continuing our exploration of the history of human ideas about hell. It’s an alt.Sunday with something scheduled for Kids Table participants. We’ll have a chance to check in with one another, to offer care and support, and to work together to provide a safe space in which to explore what we believe…

Hey folks – for those of you expecting Part 2 of A (very) Short History of Hell, I’m sorry to disappoint. However, this Sunday is Mother’s Day. I initially thought it might be an interesting challenge to combine topics, but more worthy thoughts won out. We’ll return to that topic another time. This week we’re going to explore the noteworthy absence…

Given the subject line, I feel as though some explanation of how I decide what to explore in a Talky Bit might be in order. You might recall that a few months ago I asked for input from the community on what you think might be interesting to explore. I didn’t get a lot of responses and I would love more, so if you’ve got anything (and I mean anythi…

Hey folks – if your world is anything like mine, people have been wishing you a “Happy Easter” this past week. As someone who grew up in a religious culture in which Easter was a big deal (I mean, resurrections don’t happen every day, right? Or do they?), having folks that I know are irreligious saying “Happy Easter” feels like it’s in a category a…

This Sunday – Community Time, Music, Kids Table and a Talky Bit that explores happiness from the perspective of what motivates us as human beings. Boom…done…next – because sometimes I like to write a blurb that’ll fit on the screen of a phone. Details: Sunday – 10:45 a.m. at VA Cafe (171 McDermot Avenue) Important upcoming dates: Sunday, April 6th …

Our world chases wealth, status, and fleeting pleasures — but is there more to life? The Book of Ecclesiastes confronts this brutal reality head-on, declaring that everything under the sun is temporary and ultimately meaningless. So why is such an unsettling book part of the Bible? And what deeper message does God want to reveal through its mystery…

Hey folks – this blurb has a few additional details at the end, so I would invite you to take the moments needed to read the whole thing. Let’s start with the details about this Sunday. We’ll gather at VA Cafe at 10:45 am for some music, Community Time and a Talky Bit. In a slight change from our typical rhythm, there will not be any Kids Table pro…

Hey folks – housekeeping first. As you may have noticed, we just had two alt.Sundays in a row, but with Kids Table for both. This Sunday, which would normally be an alt.Sunday, kinda isn’t. We’ll have Community Time, music, and a Talky Bit…but no Kids Table programming. Let’s not call it anything, and just get together and enjoy having good company…
