Community Gossip from 2015

This month Abbie and Tom are inviting us to consider abundance.

Soup n Soul

We shared Soup n Soul lunch @ Kentish's in Cowley on 2nd. This was a shared lunch with simple spiritual practices, breaking bread, giving thanks and sharing concerns.

As a community-organised church with lots of families, organising gets tough over the summer and many people are away, so we usually take a break in August.

But join us in July for some simple gatherings as follows:

• Thursday 9 July, 8pm, come for a simple community meal at the Lotts', in Cowley.
• Sunday 12 July, 10:30 South Park for a wee worship, followed by picnic.
• Weds 22 July, 8pm, Guardians meet, including starting off Dave in post as our new Sacristan.
• Thurs 30 July, Pints n Prattle at the Marsh Harrier pub, from 9pm.

Sunday 10 May: We joined in with the Christian Aid All Age service at St Francis Church, Hollow Way, followed by bring n share lunch.

Thurs 21 May: Community Meal at Skye n Joel's. We had an interesting discussion on how God is described and where that's led to mistaking metaphors for God ("God is light") for literal facts; - perhaps God is also found in darkness. Here's Joel's text (he says it's a work in progress):

We joined in Sam's 50th celebrations with a family friendly celidh.

Happy birthday, Sam!

This month Tom and Abbie are organising our gatherings. We're exploring vulnerability.

The final 'February' meeting is 1st March (hey, it's nearly Feb) which will be our big Sunday. We're meeting up at the Cherwell Centre, starting with a shared lunch at 12:30.
