About DNSS

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

Join us at 9:00 A.M., just outside our worship space and down the hall.

Food for the good of the soul

This is the body of Christ,

broken that we may be whole;

This cup, as promised by God,

true to his word, cradles our Lord:

food for the good of the soul

 

This song by John Bell rolls around my head on a frequent basis - and that is a good thing. I know it so well, and the melody, that I can get "past the words" and go to a deeper place. That, of course, is one of the whole reasons for contemplative Taize style music. To get past the words - not to ignore them, but allow them to sink deeper and deeper into your being.

Food for the good of the soul indeed.

This Sunday will we be beginning a new season of DNSS. Our first topic is Communion, The Lord's Supper, the Eucharist, the Love Feast, and all the other names it might be known by.

Come and join us at 9:00. Please bring your Bible.
