When describing worship, we often paint a picture of a solemn, ritual-laden, humorless, and non-participatory service where the attendees are talked at, rather than actively engaged in the process. Many people think play should be checked at the door when entering a religious service. God, however, has given us a sense of humor and encourages us to use it to create connections, develop friendships, and spread joy in the world. This world is not simply a waiting room where we pay our dues to enter the joyful kindom of heaven where there will be dancing in the streets. Rather we are charged with creating that kindom here on Earth. Join the party on the last Sunday of August to hear about and participate in sacred play.
This service will be followed by a community potluck from 9:45-10:30.
