Spirit of Groundhog Day

 

GATHERING FOR WORSHIP

Sunday, 3 February, 5:30 pm, 618 Locust Street

Have you ever wondered about the spiritual significance of Groundhog Day? Had it even occurred to you there might be some spiritual significance to this national celebration? Ok, I'll admit - it hadn't occurred to me. But then I watched the classic cult movie Groundhog Day and experienced an epiphany. Apparently I'm late to this understanding as the web is full of articles, blog posts, websites, pictures, reviews, and conversations about this subject. So in honor of the big Groundhog Day weekend and its inspired movie, Sunday night's Gathering will engage spiritual meanings and lessons from this annual celebration and the film.

Our financial offering is multi-faceted. The financial part will be designated for our friends at HERO. We'll also be collecting cans of soup as part of the national Souper Bowl of Caring effort. Our cans will be donated to Project Dignidad.

And speaking of soup - Sunday night is our community potluck night and what better way to celebrate the Souper Bowl of Caring than by sharing bowls of soup. Of course, since it's also the Super Bowl, it's also a great night to share favorite football food. So bring your favorite soup, football food, favorite football soup, or anything else that interests you. But most importantly - bring yourself, with or without food! It's the fellowship that's sacred.
