A Cool Place to Be

Sunday's Sundaes

Inspired by the writings of John Shelby Spong, Ann will lead us in exploring the questions:

"If God is not a being (entity), what does it mean to love God?" and "If God is not a being (entity,) how does God love us?"

Homemade ice cream and trimmings will help cool and soothe our hot discussion. Ann and Crockett are bringing vanilla, and she invites someone else to bring an additional flavor. Of course, we also need the appropriate "condiments" - like cookies, cake, toppings, gooey stuff, etc. Ann suggests:

"If no one has the energy to make homemade, store bought ice cream will be just as good. Bring your bowls, spoons and plan to dive in for a fun evening."

Contact Ann for more info. The offering recipient will be The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, an organization helping wildlife impacted by the Gulf oil spill.
