Subject: See you Sunday!

Dear Hot Metal Community,


We'll finish up our mini-season rooted in prayer and psalms with perhaps the most widely known Psalm 23. We'll discover how familiar words and images can lead to deeper reflection and imagination and connection when we engage it intentionally. We'll rejoice in a God that provides cool waters and abundant tables and goodness and mercy. We'll give thanks for prayers that offer us hope, especially in a world that seems hopeless. I hope you will join us for this time, and as we prepare for the next season to come!

Peace, 

Pastor Erin


PS I am out of town Monday-Thursday of next week for a continuing education conference. Please direct any pastoral emergencies to Karl or LaChan. 

SAVE THE DATE: Ash Wednesday, February 22! 

Lent is almost upon us! Plan on marking this holy day either with receiving Ashes-to-Go at Big Dog Coffee in the morning, or during worship at 7pm (also via Zoom). Be on the lookout for other Lent plans as they approach! 


Hot Metal Worship: NOW WITH COFFEE - Sign up to be a Coffee Host

NEW YEAR DATES AVAILABLE NOW
Help us create a space for community, connection, and caffeine on Sunday mornings! Coffee Hosts will show up around 9:30am to make the coffee, set up the coffee station, and greet people as they arrive for worship. After worship, they clean up and wash mugs. Instructions are available and Pastor Erin is around for troubleshooting! Providing goodies is always appreciated, but optional! Sign up here. 


Compassion Team's Listening Season - February 19-April 9

The Compassion Team (and friends) will lead us in a Lent-long “Listening Season.” Sign Up for a 1-to-1 conversation with a team member, and share your story, passion, and heart. We have a goal of listening to 66 people! By hearing all our stories, we’ll be able to discern together where the next chapter of Hot Metal is going to go! 


Lenten Nurturing Group - TIME CHANGE to 7:30pm starting on Tuesday, February 28th. 

We'll be discussing "Spiritual Direction" by Henri Nouwen and tackling some BIG QUESTIONS for Lent! Spiritual Direction is a book of collected works from Henri Nouwen, curated by some of the students who knew him best. Offering gentle guidance and wisdom, this book attempts to give wise advice on how to live a deep spiritual life in connection with others. Some of the questions it explores are: Where do I begin? Who am I? Who is God for me? Where do I belong? This book is ideal for anyone who is looking to engage deeper in their faith - whether you are in a place of deconstruction, reconstruction, or anywhere in between - we hope you'll join us! This will be mainly led and facilitated by Nathan Rosswog! Yay!!! Join us using the Sunday Worship Zoom Link!


Order your book from the library, local bookstore, or here. Or email Pastor Erin if you need it ordered for you!
