Faithful readers,
It has been nearly a month since the update. During this hiatus I completed my transition from Zion Lutheran Church to Parkside Lutheran Church. On July 11th, I was installed as the Intern at Parkside and I will be serving there for a full year as the pastoral intern at Parkside under the direction of Pastor Charlie Bang.
This move has a few great implications for Organic Faith. For one, we will be able to make a stronger link with Parkside, where we have been gathering for many of our events. I’m hoping in the year ahead that we can invite many of Parkside’s members to our different gatherings and events as the church, and I also hope that we might participate in some of Parkside’s gatherings etc. Furthermore, we have the new potential to put together really neat events and initiatives together.
In other words, start dreaming big friends! There is so much potential for what we could do with this new connection!
Now I’m guessing that some of you are saying, “that’s great, but what does this mean for Organic Faith for the rest of the summer?” I’m so glad you asked! In our remaining time together this summer I would really like spend a lot of time together as a community planning for the fall and dreaming about where we can go during Organic Faith’s 3rd year.
As we gather and grow as a community this summer I ask you to please invite anyone and everyone that might be interested in a different type of church. Below you will see a complete calendar of the events for Organic Faith through the remainder of the summer, feel to share it with all your friends, or let me know if there is something else that you would like to see this summer that’s not currently on the calendar. You’ll notice that all gatherings begin at 7:07pm - this specific time was chosen so its easy to remember and so we can have a clear time set for when we will begin.
I don’t say it enough, but thanks to all of you who care about Organic Faith and put time into building this community; its so exciting to be on this journey together with each of you.
