++ Letter from the Cultivator ++“What gives you life?”
Dear Friends, My question of the month for you is this: What gives you life? I am sure I have asked some of you this question before, but it is worth asking and exploring again. What gives you life? As Organic Faith explores throughout the summer different ways to be church I believe that at the heart of our pursuits needs to be this question of what is truly life-giving. In Creation God brought life to the world from chaos, and then through Jesus God brought life to the world again--life that is beyond even death. It seems to me that God is in the business of life.
As a church that gathers together around a belief in this life-giving God I think our business needs to also be life. How can we allow God to work through us bring life to a world of darkness and death? How can we focus our gatherings and our lives around the ways God brings life to us? This month in particular I invite you to live with this question and to pay careful attention to the many ways that God brings life into life.
Peace and Grace,Nate

Every Monday for the next 6 weeks Organic Faith will be gathering for Church. Here is the catch, each week Church will take a different form and have a different leader. Here is the complete 6 week plan:
June 22 – Pub Church: What is Church? June 29 – House ChurchJuly 6 – Art Church July 13 – Silent ChurchJuly 20 – Church ChurchJuly 27 – Pub Church: The Recap (all gatherings at 8pm, exact location varies)
