Faithful Innovation

So Just What is God Really Up To?

Quite a good question!  Let’s find out some answers, together, with a little experiment, shall we?


If you like to:  

            -be friendly

            -listen to others

            -sit about in the outdoors on a summer day

            -enjoy a refreshing cool glass of lemonade


If even just one of these statements fits your bill, then we have quite the opportunity for you.To do what you may ask?  To practice some St. David’s radical hospitality getting to know our neighbors better. Just by listening to others and noticing, amidst our welcoming manner, we hope to hear where God is, and isn’t, right here in our neighborhood, beyond our church walls.


The plan is to set up a simple table and chairs along Minnetonka Blvd. where our church property abuts up to the walking/biking trail. Here we will have extra chairs and cool drink, offering respite and refreshment to folks passing by, furry friends too, complete with a dog water bowl and treats! Here we will just listen, and notice, and converse. No proselytizing, no sell job, no coercion of any sort. Just an opportunity to share what Christ asks of all of us, to love one another. 


We hope you will participate in this little hospitality experiment in our neighborhood, with the opportunity to be transformed. 


Please look for the sign-up sheets in the undercroft/narthex, 2 people per 1 hour shifts, Sunday June 18th, 11am thru 2pm, and Wednesday June 28th, 4pm thru 7pm. Grab a buddy and sign up! Added incentive, we even promise to include some ice breaker lines/scripts/activities just in case the cat’s got your tongue.

We will include all individuals in the prayers list for four consecutive weeks, and then they will be removed from the list.
