7.31 [PRACTICE + REFLECTION] Community and Communion Gathering
Monday Aug 01, 2022
Monday Aug 01, 2022
There was not a new sermon this weekend at South Bend City Church, but we instead took some time to reflect, meditate, and engage in a gathering designed to lead us to the table. We had the opportunity to have kids in our gatherings and for them lead us in different ways. Over 50 kids created art based on our four mantras and those pieces were displayed during a liturgy centered on those binding values that we hold. We also heard two spoken word pieces created by elementary aged students and had the opportunity to respond to the same prompts. We would love for you to join with us in this gathering by looking at a few pieces of the art, grabbing markers and paper, and engaging however best speaks to you. Our time together culminates with the Eucharist so feel free to grab crackers and juice and join us at the table.

7.24 [TEACHING] Surprises in the Text (wk 3): What’s With Babel?
Monday Jul 25, 2022
Monday Jul 25, 2022
What is really going on in the story that seemingly signals the beginning of differing languages and the migration of civilization? In Genesis 11, we hear about the tower of babel and are left with the question: what is this about? Is it simply a story told out of order or is there a deeper lesson to be learned?
Sean Palmer explores these questions and more as he joins us via video from Houston, Texas. He is the teaching pastor at Ecclesia Houston and is the author of Unarmed Empire. He's also a contributing writer to The Voice Bible and serves as the vice-chair of the Missio Alliance board.
