Our Anthem This Sunday:

A Lenten Prayer
Robert J. Powell/Billie Echols

Lord, I ask a blessing
for my soul today;
give me peace from heaven
as I kneel and pray.
Forty days did Jesus
face temptation strong;
give me strength to conquer
knowing right from wrong.

Lord, I ask a blessing
for my soul today;
give me peace from heaven
as I kneel and pray.
I would be like Jesus
turning from all sin,
with His love to keep me
true and faithful within.

Lord, I ask a blessing 
for my soul today; 
give me peace from heaven
as I kneel and pray.
When I look to Jesus,
He will show the way;
Help me come to meet Him
pure on Easter Day.

Theology on Tap
February 13, 2018
37 folks were present for great food, drink and conversation!  
People have been gathering in public spaces for ages, talking about life, philosophy, faith, doubt, and deep questions of meaning. Recently, many people are re-discovering the pub and tavern as a safe space to explore and express questions, learn from others, and engage with other traditions and perspective. Throughout time, profound insights have their origins paired with a pint. The pub is a space of freedom and a place to reflect on the technical layers of complexity in the drinks we imbibe and the philosophy and theology in which we share. 

Join us the second Tuesday of the month and bring your questions, curiosity, and readiness to engage and wrestle as we pursue the Divine in the seemingly least likely of places.
