person reading a book
On November 20th after church, there will be a read out loud circle! Everyone who wishes to participate should bring a written item to read out loud in front of others. It can be from a book, a poem, your own journal, or any other interesting written source, up to two pages or 5 minutes. If the reading sparks conversation, then the group can spend some time on it. If not, we move on down the circle.

Board Game Day!!
On October 30th after church we are hosting a board game day in the narthex. There will be a scrabble set or two, and depending on turnout other options for those who do not want scrabble. We’ll sit down at one of the Narthex tables and play a game or two after church and before lunch. People who want to go out to lunch together after can express interest on the day, or ahead of time if you prefer by emailing  learn@peaceaustin.org

Church & Fandoms…Communities & Canons
 
If you are a Trekkie, or participate in the fan communities of others cultural phenomena like Dr. Who, Star Wars, or Twilight & Harry Potter…then you know how serious people can take shows and characters and storylines and their meanings.
 
In fact, if you are a Christian, you know this already in a different way, right?

The Bible and Climate Change: We discuss parts one and two of the two-part series from The Salt Project podcast Strange New World, “The Bible and Climate Change” — rethinking scripture from the ground up in the face of the greatest global challenge in human history. In part one, we start with Genesis, and uncover how “climate change” — though it’s never mentioned in the Bible — is on virtually every page. In episode two, we explore what Jesus has to do with climate change, zeroing in on his last public teaching, the final words he wants ringing in our ears.
