Two Conversations about Creation
For the next two weeks, June 10th and June 17th, we will be gathering at El Mariachi for some good food and good conversation about Creation.
On June 10th, we will start by looking into what Scripture says about humanity’s place in God’s creation and the responsibilities that we have for the planet as people made in God’s image. We’ll talk a little bit about what it humanity’s disobedience and sin means in ecological terms (the Bible says more than you’d think!). Come and join us for a conversation about the spiritual practice of caring for creation!
Then, on June 17th, we’ll balance the first conversation by talking about God’s work of redemption for a broken Creation and the Spirit’s work in perfecting what God has made so that the book of Revelation can speak of a “new heavens and a new earth.” The Bible talks about Jesus as the “firstborn of the new creation,” and in his resurrection after three days in the tomb, we have both a sign and a promise of the the work that God is doing to heal the wounds in the cosmos that he loves.
Two Bible studies to help us all connect in a richer way with the dirt on which we live. Come join us!
