Greetings!
This winter has kept the Open Table board busy making preparations for Annual Conference (non-delegate registration opens on February 20!), submitting Article of Incorporation paperwork and establishing 501c3, not-for-profit status. While this work is important for the organization as a whole, there isn’t much to see or participate in yet. Which brings me to the main reason for this email. This Sunday, February 10 at 5:00 pacific time I will be joining Audrey deCoursey, the pastor of Living Stream Church of the Brethren, for evening worship. Living Stream is a new, inclusive, creative, adventurous, online worship community that started in 2012. From their website;
“The Living Stream is an exploration in community-building through new visual and social media. Think of this as a kind of laboratory for exploring worship with new media, where we learn together what draws us to each other, what soothes our spirits, what uplifts us from our alienation, and what challenges us to grow.”
I have the pleasure of joining Pastor Audrey in Portland, Oregon for a time of worship and conversation focused on community and relationships. Please make time this Sunday to log in and join in the conversation. I will also be sharing a bit about what we, the OTC board, have been up to since the Progressive Gathering and what is in the works for the coming months and Annual Conference. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and engage in conversation as we continue this important work of gathering individuals and communities in seeking the movement of the Divine within and among us, for celebration and action.
