A Word from Andrew... Welcome to Ascension Sunday, In-Person Worship on May 23rd...And Pivot Points... |
Dear Pine Street Church Members and Friends,
This is Ascension Sunday, when we celebrate the risen Christ giving his first followers an open-armed blessing as he and his followers pivoted to a new reality.
Tis the season for graduation and commencement speeches. Today from the Gospel of Luke (24), we see that these commencement speeches remind of the Commencement speech that Jesus once gave to the class of (call it 33 A.D.).
We call it the Ascension of our Lord in the church. But really, it’s not just about where Jesus is going or even about his own celebrity-status. It’s about where his graduates are going. Where these disciples are going and what they’re being asked to be and do in the world. And this is why you can consider that the Ascension Day of Jesus is really the Graduation Day for his first followers. Jesus had been their teacher and dean and professor and prophet and the Chair of the Department of Discipleship. And now their keynote speaker on their very own spiritual graduation day. Join us at 10am on the PSC YouTube channel to learn more.
Next Sunday
I am delighted to announce that we will gather for outdoor, in-person worship at the home of Stuart and Adderly Lord on Sunday, May 23rd, at 10am. (Location: 2490 Cana Court, Lafayette, CO 80026). We will also celebrate Holy Communion together that day.
May 23rd is also Pentecost Sunday, a high, holy feast day in the life of our beloved Christian tradition. Our Heart for Missions team asks you to bring in-kind donations of new, cotton socks to be distributed to our local partner Boulder Bridge House and shared with our homeless neighbors in Boulder.
Be well, stay safe, and I'll see you in-person one week from today at the home of Stuart and Adderly Lord for our Pentecost outdoor, in-person worship!
With heart,
Andrew

Pine Street Church is providing prepared meals for youth at TGTHR, formally, Attention Homes of Boulder. Currently the OASIS book study provides a monthly meal. We would like to offer this opportunity to others in our faith community. Our task is to prepare a meal for the designated amount of youth (typically 10 at The Source-North Boulder and typically 8 at Chase House-South Boulder). We create a menu and then split up the preparations. One person delivers the meal to the home on our pre-assigned day. If you are interested in helping regularly or on occasion, please contact Debbie Setlock at Setlock7@msn.com. |

ART BRUNCH
Sundays at 9:00am

Art and Poetry - The Origins
How many of us read poetry? Probably very few. It is the well-respected but least observed of the arts. For those of us who do not enjoy it's potential for transcendence and transformation, we are missing out big time! With this series, we will explore the history of poetry and its relation to the visual arts. We will begin with the oldest forms, epic and love poetry, and make our way to the 20th Century, where poetry was seen as a great hope to fill the void left by the "death of God" after WWI.
In our examination, we will include the visual arts since poetry and painting are particularly related. Leonardo da Vinci said, "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."
Even if some of us are not fans of poetry now, we may very well become fans after this fascinating exploration. During this series, we all should feel a fresh desire to enjoy the fruits of Calliope's gift, she being the greatest of the muses and the one who inspired Homer.
See you Sunday! And please share this event with kindred spirits.
You can learn more about each week's teachings at the WAMA Art Asylum page HERE.
