Nothing but answers

As said in my announcement after worship, tonight's DNSS is all about answers. I mean, we all have questions about grace, and the eucharist, and baptism, and sacraments in general - but wouldn't we all like some frim answers?

Well, I got them.

But I am not saying to what questions.

Come join us for Grace Part Three - From the Sacraments to Evangelism in a few easy steps. Oh, and we will watch part of a western.

Now, if that doesn't get you interested...

Tonight, 7:30 at Craig's.

A week off

A week off from Grace? Well, no, that never ends.

But I am going to be in Toronto for a few days, so there is no DNSS next week (May 8th).

We will continue the series the following week: Tues. May 15 - 7:30 at Craig's house.

Very much enjoying our conversations thus far - many great insights on the topic of grace, and how each of us approach it. Whoops, "approach" is a verb, and as Larry reminds us, we can't use verbs when trying to explain grace.

Grace - Have you ever earned it?

Of course this is a trick question for something that comes without strings, or attachments of any kind. But do we believe it?

Have you caught yourself thinking that you need to do something, out of guilt, or maybe even to find God's favour? (After, all, it is the Christian thing to do.)

Join us for Grace Part 2, Craig's house, 7:30 pm.

This time I am going to talk about the Prodigal son, and maybe a bit of Pulp Fiction. Yep, that Pulp Ficiton.

See you then.

It has been a while - grace?

It's been a while since I have posted here at the DNSS blog - so maybe the new series is aptly chosen.

Beginning tonight (Tues. April 24, 7:30 at my house), I am beginning a series looking at the concept of grace. It is something that is mentioned a lot in our lives - and not always with spiritual connotations. We can give others grace when they forget an appt. (or receive it from others when we have messed up). Certainly scripture mentions it a lot, as do other books, movies, songs, and right down to people's names (Grace Kelly, anyone? Will and Grace?) It's even the name of churches (Grace Bible).

But what does it mean?

Come and explore, converse, and learn together what it might mean for each of us.

Love Wins 1.5

We began (or continued, really) our discussion on Bell's book "Love Wins" last night - lot of great insights and sharing around the topic of Heaven and Hell. I am always amazed at the depth of conversation we can get into in 90 minutes.

Thanks to everyone for coming.

Next Monday (Oct. 24) we continue. I will have some more leading questions, but please come and share your thoughts on what you've read.

Also, don't forget about the upcoming series on Death and Dying, starting in Nov.
