Open Space spring newsletter

Brian Flatgard

We have our spring schedule planned out for once (minus the once a month hikes), and we’re going to be getting back to our roots a little, investing time in regular fellowship and community, sharing highs and lows, and doing some devotions and/or prayer. We’ve been apart for so long, hobbling along through Covid closures, and it’s time to get back to our basics. 

Some of you may remember how in 2015-16 we spent most every week in a Bible study, meeting each Thursday in the fellowship hall at Streams in the Desert Lutheran Church on Pima. It was a good time, diving into the Word, and building a foundation of faith and community. 

We’re going to get back to that. Twice a month we just come together at our usual spot (The Studio) and share and build each other up and pray. We might go out for food or drinks after, depends on the mood. But to rebuild as a church we need to have our core community back together. I hope to see you there. 

Paint nights are still on, once a month as we’ve been doing them. 

And we’ll schedule a couple more Saturday hikes to explore God in creation. Times for those are TBD. Stay posted. 

Make sure to follow us on social media; Facebook has the most up to date events. 

Make sure to tell your friends. 

God Bless, 

Pastor Lars
