How is God at work through your hands? How would you illustrate it through a 30- to 90-second video? The churchwide organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) invited members and the general public to submit their videos to a contest inspired by the tagline: "God’s work. Our hands." To watch these poignant and entertaining short videos go to: http://www.godsworkourhands.org/ |

"Personally, I am not offended or alarmed by the notion of a post-Christian America. Christianity was originally and, in my view, always meant to be a minority faith with a counter-cultural stance; as opposed to the dominant cultural and political force. Notions of a Christian America quite frankly haven’t turned out very well." Jim Wallis in his April 10, 2009 Newsweek article http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/christiannation/archive/2009/04/10/a-christian-mistake.aspx |

"A church that doesn’t provoke any crises, a gospel that doesn’t unsettle, a word of God that doesn’t get under anyone’s skin, What gospel is that?" – Oscar Romero

1) I saw this bummer sticker on a car recently and thought it was worth noting here. "Get Involved. The world is run by those who show up." We invite you to "get involved" at Maple Leaf Lutheran Church  
2) I just read "Take This Bread" by Sara Miles. It's a great book and here's a great quote: "Christianity wasn't an argument I could win, or even resolve. It wasn't a thesis. It was a mystery that I was finally willing to swallow. I was loved by a big love. In the midst of suffering, or hunger, even of death. Alleluia. What was, finally, so hard about accepting that?" |
