Socializing

Communitas has been pretty much a family and friends gathering, more specifically, a gathering that included our two granddaughters and their friends. We have had some great discussions, but it has really been more of a social outreach than anything. So, we are moving to make it more of social time when family and friends can gather. So, I might not be writing here for a while as we see what it morphs into.

E-Val

This week are going to evaluate what we have been doing and think about what’s ahead for us as a group. Bring you thoughts. See you Sunday.

The Biggies

Is man basically good or bad?

What is the most important event in human history?

We’re into the biggies this week. You’d have to be crazy to miss this!

Seriously, we’ll be talking about some of the implications of the issues we discussed last time. Let’s hear from you. See you Sunday @ 5.

A Wing and a Prayer

Last week was all about the death and resurrection of Christ.  This week is about the meaning that those events hold for our lives.  This is amazing, dramatic stuff.  If I were you, I wouldn’t want to miss a minute of it!  I am also looking forward to tasting Ryan’s amazing chicken wings that he so dramatically described for us. last week.  Good food!  Good discussion!

Easter Peeps

I am glad that you all did fine without us being here last week.

Now for this week. It’s resurrection Sunday! I would just about guarantee you that you will pick up something new about the history and customs of Easter. We’ll even do a some video.

Open Mike Night

This should be fun!  I am interested to see what you all bring to our community gathering this Sunday Evening.

Mirror… Mirror

Well last week was fun, even if LuLu was a little hyper. Thank you all for coming. I would love to meet more of your peeps. So, the more, the merrier. I don’t know what’s on the menu, but I do know that Patty never fails me.

We have gone from love to trust to self image and they are very practical topics all.

Here is some stuff to chew over.
How is your self-image? Is it accurate?
Where does one’s self image come from?
How important is self-image?

Passages I think we’ll give a look:
Genesis 1:27
Psalm 8:3-9
Luke 22:24-30

Here’s wishing you a self-image that is delicately balanced between self-hatred and egomania! See you Sunday, 5p. Give us a call, if you can.

Take Two

Hey Gang ~ Sorry that you all were sick last week. I look forward to seeing you, Sunday. We’ll do some buffalo wings and conversation. The whole idea is provide a safe place for us all to engage in discussion about life and faith…. and whatever. Besides, we like having you over!

Trusty Trust

Hey, thank you all for participating in the discussion last week! It was very lovely. (Ha! Ha! I made a funny!)

This week you have chosen trust as our topic for discussion. I am feeling so trusting that I think I will go ahead and pass on some of the discussion questions.

How important is trust in a relationship?
What is trust?
Is anyone totally trustworthy?

Here are some passages to look at:

• Mark 10:13-16 Trust and children
• Matthew 6:26-34 Trust and worry
• John 3:16-18 Trust and judgment (or not)

Why does it say, “In God We Trust” on our money?

Crazy Love

This week at Communitas we are going to eat some of Patty’s Special, Wonderful, Extremely Delicious, Hot Sandwiches, catch up with one another, generally goof around and discuss the lovely topic of love, after all Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Do you know anything about the origins of this holiday that is best celebrated in pairs? Here’s a good site if you are interested in the history.

Here’s what we usually do during the discussion part of Communitas: I will introduce a topic and then we will discuss it. Since, I think the discussion is the most important part, I will never talk for more than ten minutes to set up the discussion. See you Sunday, my place, 220 Holdridge Ave.,Winthrop Harbor, IL at 5PM. Email or call if you have questions or need directions.
