A Word from Andrew... What Jesus, Van Gogh, and a Progressive Rock Band Have in Common... |
|
Dear Pine Street Church Members and Friends,
Today at 10am via Zoom, we will explore the wisdom and meaning of Jesus as "The Bread of Life." (John 6:35; 41-51)
With a little help from Vincent Van Gogh and the progressive rock band Tool, we will discover what happens when our appetites for love and purpose lead us deeper into living the fullness of a spiritual life.
I look forward to seeing many of you at 10am (Zoom worship link below).
Grace and peace,
Andrew
Spotlight on MIssion!
TGTHR - ??
TGTHR is the new name for what formerly was Attention Homes. Their motto is: TGTHR — TO END YOUTH HOMELESSNESS. That sums up their mission. For 55 years they have worked with Boulder’s youth to provide a place to live, employment, access to education, wellness, and a supportive community. They provide a safe environment where youth can learn, grow, and develop into confident young adults.
Another giving opportunity!
TGTHR’s housing complex for young adults is at 1440 Pine Street; they are our neighbors! To support the young adults that are returning to school or have jobs this fall, let’s help by providing some needed supplies.
Here is TGTHR’s list of most needed items:
- Backpacks
- Day Planners
- Calendars 📅
- Alarm Clocks ⏰ and Wall Clocks
- Pens 🖊 and Pencils ✏️
- Spiral Notebooks
- Art Supplies (colored pencils, journals or sketchbooks, markers, paint, canvas, etc)
- Gift Cards to Target
- Snacks (granola bars, fruit snacks, crackers, etc)
You may drop off any donations at Pine Street Church on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays between 10am and 2pm pm during August. Contact Mary Beth Mankin, 307-399-7769, with questions or if you need someone to pick up your donations.
Pine Street Church also supports TGTHR by providing meals to youth in their residential program. Currently three teams of women each provide a meal to Chase House once a quarter, so that Pine Street Church is providing one meal a month. If you would like to be part of this ministry, contact Debbie Setlock, (303) 931-5556.

Thanks for a Wonderful Work Day!
We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who came to help at our church workday last weekend, especially our friends from All Souls Church. We accomplished an amazing amount together and enjoyed meaningful fellowship as well as unseasonably cool weather. Also, a special thanks to everyone who donated to our EFAA Food Drive, including the friends and family of our Off Broadway Preschool.
Not to worry if you missed our July work day, we have another scheduled for the last Saturday in August. Watch out for an online sign up coming soon!

WaMa Art Asylum:
Art Brunch,
Sundays at 9am
Now What?! - Art and Our Next Chapter, pt. 7 - Giving Pearls To Swine
During our last presentation, we discussed the life and works of Hilma af Klint and learned that withholding our gifts from the world is costly - for ourselves and others. As is my custom, during this presentation, I will discuss the life and work of an artist that appears to argue for the opposite - when we give what is precious and valuable to people not capable of receiving it, or ready to receive it, we also pay a price.
Hilma af Klint may now be regarded as the "Mother of Abstraction," but for some art historians, Georgiana Houghton is the rightful "Mother," preceding Klint by 45 years. This Sunday, we will examine the works of Houghton and their controversial spiritual sources. Who really was the artist behind the non-objective art of Houghton? And does she deserve the title of true "Mother of Abstraction"?
Now that more and more activities and opportunities are opening up to us, what is our next move? Over the next 6 months? The next year? The next 5 years? What do we want to experience, achieve, acquire? What impact do we want to make? What relationships do we want to cultivate or mend?
Inspired by some of the amazing art I’ve recently seen, I would like to present ideas and resources that may help us turn the next page in our lives, gain clarity about opportunities, and expand our legacy for our friends, family, and community.
Please join me Sunday morning as we continue our live virtual meetings, always ending with your chance to share your thoughts and ideas.
