ONE WAKE EVENT

This Thursday, June 8, One Wake will be hosting an Internal Assembly from 7-9pm at Baptist Grove Church, 7109 Leesville Road. We held a listening session last month around the crisis of affordable housing in our city, and many other sessions have been held over the past months and weeks. The purpose of this Internal Assembly is to evaluate the spring listening campaign, which has to date engaged over 1,600 members of their institutions in an effort to identify the top pressures facing our families and communities. We will hear the results of the listening campaign and will vote by the institution to prioritize top concerns for ONE Wake's next grassroots agenda. This session is being offered both in-person and virtually, and registration for both is encouraged.



DINNER & A SHORT FILM

On Wednesday evening, June 21 from 6-7:30pm, we will be hosting a showing of Patrick Nichols' film Palm Sunday in the fellowship hall. We'll kick off the evening with a pizza dinner, followed by the film showing, and a time of discussion. Patrick will be joining us, and we look forward to hearing more about the process of producing and telling this story. Palm Sunday won the Best Film Award at the Columbia University Film Festival. It was chosen from 43 submissions of master's thesis projects by a panel of film critics and others in the industry. If you are able to join us for dinner, please RSVP by emailing Deborah. Childcare can be available for babies through 2nd graders on a pre-registration basis. Please let Lynn Lingafelt know no later than June 14.

Please note: Theology on Tap will not gather in June but will resume again on July 20 at Clouds Brewing. 
IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL!

It’s time to register for Vacation Bible School! It’s in the morning this year — Monday, July 17–Friday, July 21, from 9am–12 noon, and it’s for rising three-year-olds through rising 6th graders!  Friends and neighbors are welcome too! Click here to download the registration form. Complete it and send it back to Lynn by Wednesday, June 7.

Our theme is Changemakers Lab, where we’ll learn about the transforming love of God through Christ and discover and share creative ways to make a difference in the world! We’ll look at five Bible stories that explore examples of people who experienced and brought about change in the world around them — people who provide a model for asking hard questions, working together to solve problems, reaching across differences, caring for all people, and imagining a new world.   
  • Monday morning: The story of Nicodemus (John 3:1-7) —Changemakers ask questions.     
  • Tuesday morning: The story of Five Friends (Mark 2:1-12) —Changemakers work together to solve problems.
  • Wednesday morning: The story of the early church sharing what they had so everyone had enough (Acts 2:42-47; 4:32-37) —Changemakers respond to the needs of others.
  • Thursday morning: The story of Peter and Cornelius (Acts 10) —Changemakers build bridges.
  • Friday morning: The story of imagining a new world (Isaiah 65:17-25) — Changemakers create a new kind of world. 

Contact Lynn with any questions!
