Sustaining Angels: An OpenSpirit Reunion Celebration!
Sunday Evening, September 20th, 2009; 7 – 8 PM; Performing Arts Center of MetroWest
Welcome back to OpenSpirit! Come, join us, as we light the lamps of evening, tune up the instruments, and settle in again, with friends old and new. OpenSpirit, creativity and arts in worship; always different, always fun! Pearl St. entrance, red door, elevator to 3rd floor.
Is the busy pace of fall start-up – back to school, back to work, back to church – feeling a bit frantic? Could you use some space for solace, for renewal? Come away, and God will sustain us, in surprising ways. Sometimes, an angel finds us … when we expect it the least, when we need it the most.
Dieric Bouts the Elder, Prophet Elijah in the Desert
This week at OpenSpirit, we’ll share an ancient story, a Hebrew prophet who bent under the burden he tried to carry, all by himself. Sound familiar? But an angel brought sustenance … and will nourish us, as well. Maybe this old, old story will touch us in a new way, remind us of the power of community to sustain us, to feed and heal us.
OpenSpirit is back! Yes! Come, let us rejoice in the animating energy of God’s Spirit. A time of Sabbath was good … but maybe being together again is even better!
Invite a friend, bring a neighbor. All you need is an open heart, a curious mind, and a hunger for God’s presence. We gather in a black box theater, in a performing arts center. There is music and prayer, movement and poetry, time for sharing, time for silence. And food! Aways food.
This Sunday evening, we will welcome the amazing gifts of David Hunte on piano and vocals! Get ready to sing and dance! We will entertain angels unawares, welcoming the presence of God in our midst; unexpected, always surprising, transforming.
