Hey folks! It's the first Sunday of the month, and it's as humid as ever. We'll be in the Mackey Room for our family service. 11:15am.
Because Genesis is weird, we'll be talking about Jesus feeding the (in the words of Matthew Skinner, "many more than") 5000. You know, because that's not weird.
Join us!
If you're new (or on the fence), here's what to expect: you will walk into a small community of people, many of whom have been going to TRP for a while. I hope they say hi and make you feel welcomed and safe. Crossing the threshold of a church can be difficult. We know that, and we hope to honor your trust in us.
We talk a good bit during the service, whether we are sharing our life experiences in a time we call "heavy and light" or asking questions during a sermon conversation. It feels more like a Bible study than a sermon. It can be a bit of a nerdfest. (I'm convinced, you'll hear more about Greek and Hebrew here than most places. Today is no different.)
We sing songs that other churches sing, but we don't plug in our instruments. We have no smoke machine and cool lights. It's simple, and we hope, authentic.
We hold space each week for silent contemplative meditation. For some of us, it's the only few minutes of intentional "silence" we have.
We also share communion each week. This meal is a millennia old Christian ritual that we believe helps us to remember who Jesus was, what he did, and how we might be more like him. Everyone is welcome to partake.
TRP isn't for everyone. We know that. We don't try to compete with the well-programmed church. (We can't.) And some folks need that, so we say, go! Sit. Soak. And then serve.
But for others ... we are here. And maybe, we are what you need. (We hope.)
