PRELUDE
Music by Maggie Keelan
WELCOME
Welcome to The Pub Church! We are a church in a pub and the Spirit is with us. In this space you are free to move about, order drinks/food, doodle, and express your ideas openly!
We come together with diversity of thoughts, stories, talents, hopes and hurts. Our prayer is that in coming together with all our differences and with Spirit, we participate toward a new divine reality. This is sacred space.

OPENING PRAYER
Divine presence within and all around us, lure us out, so that the best of ourselves, the divine that is within us, can sing out loud!
PEACE – TOAST
Followed with music by Maggie
In this place we creatively express;
Some of us are focused, some are a mess!
We participate during the sermon
And people do connect, we are learnin’
Greet all with a handshake, toast or a wave
At all times feel free to yell, rant or rave
Fake not friends, we can arrive as we are.
Cheers! Here’s to sacred space in a bar!
TELLING OUR STORY
Coming Out – to Hope!
CONVERSATIONAL SERMON
One Voice, One Small Incarnation
A Reading from Bryan Stone’s Evangelism After Christendom, quoting Gerhard Lohfink, (73).
“God, like all revolutionaries, desires the overturning, the radical alteration of the whole society – for in this the revolutionaries are right: what is at stake is the whole world, and the change must be radical, for the misery of the world cries to heaven and it begins deep within the human heart. But how can anyone change the world and society at its roots without taking away freedom?”
~~~~~~~~~~
- What do we think of the “one small voice” of which Obama speaks?
- What do we think of the small single place that incarnates a new Divine way?
- Are revolutions possible or even desirable?
COMMUNION AND SHARING OF RESOURCES
Led by Xochitl
Followed by one small song

Radiant Source of Life,
You Are Who You Are and we have been created in your Divine image, alike, yet diverse. Birthed in your image, we are born into possibility, each of us a mystery ever unfolding. Help us to honor the rich complexities of who we are; that we may know ourselves and others to be bearers of creativity and participants in Divinity, who together enact a make a small voice of change.
Let us go forth then knowing our place, answering the call, and living in Spirit.
