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.

Our next book study at DNSS.

Check out this video trailer for the book - 

]]>Lim: Part Twohttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2011/9/27/lim-part-two.htmladmin2011-09-27T15:19:09ZAnother 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. 

]]>Liminalityhttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2011/9/15/liminality.htmladmin2011-09-15T16:23:37ZOur 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.

 

]]>And we're back... almosthttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2011/9/11/and-were-back-almost.htmladmin2011-09-11T22:39:05ZDNSS begins again on Monday, September 19th. It will be at the usual time (7:30 PM) and at the usual place (Craig and Kerry's)

Watch this space for more details.

]]>Coming in Fallhttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2011/8/1/coming-in-fall.htmladmin2011-08-01T18:25:08ZJust checking into DNSS to say that it will be starting again this fall.

I have a few ideas for topics, but I am always interested in what people would like to discuss.

Comment here, or send me an email.

Enjoy the summer.

]]>Summer-time Breakhttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2011/6/11/summer-time-break.htmladmin2011-06-11T16:56:05ZDNSS finished up for the season with a great crowd of 20 packed into my living room. Ken took through a case study of reading the bible - and as usual the conversation was vibrant and respectful, notably around a topic that could have been much more divisive.

So thanks once again to Ken - and stay tuned for fall announcements about DNSS.

Happy summer.

 

]]>The Word of Godhttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2011/5/18/the-word-of-god.htmladmin2011-05-18T14:14:32ZJust wanted to let people know that our series, Studying the Word of God Fearlessly in Community returns in two weeks, May 30th.

Ken W. has been leading us through how the Bible was written, or came to be. Full of fascinating insights, and some great scholarship too!

Hope to see you there.

]]>Fearlesslyhttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2011/5/10/fearlessly.htmladmin2011-05-10T14:54:40ZThat is the great word Ken. W. left us with - regarding study God's word fearlessly in community.

A great time of rich learning - I don't know, I could attach a bunch more glowing endorsements... but best if you just come.

And in the mean time, since I haven't mentioned it for a while - check out the DNSS twitter. If you haven't checked out twitter, just think of it as a place to get quick updates from a variety of voices (including Leonard Sweet, Brian Mclaren, and just added: Rob Bell!)

]]>Studying God's Wordhttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2011/5/9/studying-gods-word.htmladmin2011-05-09T15:34:44ZDNSS returns tonight for a four week series led by Ken Warkentin - Studying the Word of God Fearlessly in Community.

 

Should be great! Come to Craig and Kerry's for 7:30.

See you then.
