About DNSS

NEW - Follow DNSS on Twitter - Click the link above.

DNSS is what we call our adult teaching time at Grain of Wheat. It stands for "Definitely Not Sunday School." The "Not" part suggest that we do things a little different.

At DNSS there are more conversations and less lectures, more ways to engage the senses such as books, film, music and maybe even some art, and more open questions that we will discern and answer together.

DNSS sometimes happens on Sundays, but it might change your mind about what is meant by, "Sunday School".

Our current book study series is being hosted at Craig and Kerry's house - 7:30 on Mondays.

Love Wins 1.5

We began (or continued, really) our discussion on Bell's book "Love Wins" last night - lot of great insights and sharing around the topic of Heaven and Hell. I am always amazed at the depth of conversation we can get into in 90 minutes.

Thanks to everyone for coming.

Next Monday (Oct. 24) we continue. I will have some more leading questions, but please come and share your thoughts on what you've read.

Also, don't forget about the upcoming series on Death and Dying, starting in Nov.

Lim: Part Two

Another wonderful conversation around the concept of liminality last night. I really get the sense that this topic resonates with a lot of us in this time and this place.

Next week we will have a closing session on the topic, and bridge/segue over into our vook study. We will be reading and discussing Rob Bell's book Love Wins.

Pick up a copy and join us for conversations in October (except for Oct. 10, which is Thanksgiving). 7:30 at Craig and Kerry's.

Also stay tuned for the November series on Death and Dying, facillitated by Beth and Stuart.

Liminality

Our first series for the year is looking at the concept of Liminality - the time in-between. There is much to be learned and considered in this important time, a time we revisit throughout our lives. It is when we know that we are no longer what we were before... but we have not figured out what, or who, we are now. It can be a confusing and challenging time; it can also be a very creative time.

 

This series will run two, or possibly three weeks (keeping my options open) - and is based on the teaching of Brother Don Bisson.

7:30 Monday evenings at Craig's house - starting this Monday Sept. 19th.

See you then.
