POTLUCKS FOR THE PROMOTION OF PEACE AND COMMUNITY IV May 10th at 7:00 p.m. Contact: Lance Schmitz, lanceschmitz@gmail.com We all need to eat so we should eat together. These potlucks exist to create a venue for people to talk about peacemaking and to foster a way for people to meet others and dialogue about what peace and community mean in this strange world. Drinks, plates, and utensils will be provided. There is no agenda other than the promotion of peacemaking and community building. This is a great opportunity to build community with people of other denominations who share many of our values. Please consider joining this potluck dinner, and report back to Voices to let us know how it went! This year’s radio broadcast of our Lenten Series, THIS I BELIEVE, came off like gangbusters. On Sunday mornings, we are surrounded by programs very different than our own, so the interesting and positive feedback about Mayflower’s radio life continues. The Wednesday night class, in tandem with the book and sermon series, was run as brilliantly as ever with Robin at the helm. If you ever want to fry your brain and heart in a positive manner, that’s one of the best ways to do it. If nothing else, Mayflower represents rounding off an eclectic and enriching life most any day of the week. But the radio feedback isn’t always positive, and perhaps it should not be, the damage of schism notwithstanding. Just last week I ran across an old radio buddy at the library who immediately started “going off” about our misperceived disrespect for life, anti-American sentiment, and heresy. All I could do was smile politely and make a lame reference to our “free country.” Elsewhere, the Holy Spirit “blows where it will” after all, and most of the time it happens in ways I dare not define. Such are the mysteries of faith. It’s also most satisfying to make continuous and updated radio announcements about the new church in Norman under Chris Moore’s leadership. Cya Sunday. Bring a friend or two. David Rucker |
