A Word from Andrew...
Pride Month
|
Dear Friends,
This Sunday we look to the story of Jesus healing the crippled woman on the Sabbath. When he was condemned by the hyper virtuous leader of the synagogue for breaking the rules, Jesus steps up to the plate to put the rules and regulations of scripture in their proper perspective. If we find ourselves using religiosity to inhibit the liberation of the suffering of others, we're doing it wrong.
The month of June is Pride Month, and here at Pine Street Church we're celebrating with our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors their path to liberation in the face righteous posturing for the ages. We are with you, and no amount of theological gymnastics can inhibit your right to Love.
With heart,
Andrew

Just as we all need a little TLC as we return to life as it was pre-pandemic, our beautiful church buildings and grounds need our love and support as we move towards our return to in person worship.
To help this along, and to give Pineheads a chance to experience a hands on relationship with our sacred spaces The church's Reopening Committee is inviting folks to participate in a series of upcoming Church Work Days. There are many needs including but not limited to: landscaping, cleaning, maintenance, and organizing.
Three work days to put on your calendars are: 6/26, 7/24, and 8/28. The fourth Saturday, June - August. We'll meet 9am - 2pm each day with an early lunch break on each day.

ART BRUNCH
Sundays at 9:00am
|
Art & Poetry - Expressing the Darkness
Edgar Allan Poe is known best for his stories and poems of the macabre. In part 5 of this series we will examine his tragic life and the darkness he expressed in his poetry. Though his native country has not always appreciated his art, Poe had a tremendous influence in Europe and the development of Modernism. The French poet Charles Baudelaire created a cult of Poe among artists who believed any creative expression, if it is to have integrity, must include the dark and the ugly side of life as well as the good and the beautiful.
-----------------
In this series, we explore the history of poetry and its relation to the visual arts. Beginning with the oldest forms, epic and love poetry, we will 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.
