Anchor Heads into the Holidays: Upcoming Events

Weds, Dec 2: Anchor continues our dinner-and-discussion series: “I Love Liz Lemon: 30 Rock and Life’s Big Questions.” We’ll take a look at one of the funniest and insightful shows on TV, talk about what it reveals about our lives, and ask what the Christian message might have to say about the issues (like identity, love, and relationships) it raises. Meeting at St. Stephen’s from 6:30-8:30pm. $5 Dinner, free childcare.

Weds, Dec 9: Evensong, a powerful and reflective service of music and prayer. In the Sanctuary, 7:30-8:30 pm. Free childcare in the nursery. Open to the whole church.

Weds, Dec 16: Anchor will go Christmas Caroling! Stay tuned for more info.

Our Long Winter Nap: Anchor will take a break over the Christmas and New Years’ holidays. We start up again with a progressive dinner on Jan 16, and then resume our weekly meetings on Weds, Jan 20, 2010.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody! (No Meeting this Weds)

Just a friendly reminder that Anchor is not meeting this week. So NO MEETING on Weds, Nov 25.

Liz Lemon is Coming!

Anchor's new dinner-and-discussion series is kicking off! Here are the details:

What: “I Love Liz Lemon: 30 Rock and Life’s Big Questions.” A dinner-and-discussion series on TV’s (arguably) funniest show. Our first night opens with the topic of rebellion in the context of Season 2’s fourth episode, “Rosemary’s Baby.” Every week, after we get the show’s perspective, we’ll examine what the Christian response might be.
When: Wednesdays, Nov 18, Dec 2, Dec 9, from 6:30-8:30 PM. NO MEETING ON WEDS, NOV 25.

Where: Grace Commons at St. Stephen’s. Corner of Walnut and Frederick St, Sewickley, PA.

Details: Dinner for $5. Free childcare in the nursery.

And to whet your appetite, one of the current season's funniest moments (with a cameo by Jimmy Fallon):

Evensong: Weds, Nov 11 at 7:30 pm

On Wednesday, November 11, from 7:30-8:30 pm in the sanctuary at St. Stephen's, Anchor is hosting Evensong, a monthly come-as-you-are service of music and prayer. The music is acoustic and combines hymns and newer Christian songs. The space is candlelit and contemplative. The prayers reflect our ancient Anglican heritage. Our hope is all comers would seek God and find him in music, prayer, and scripture. Free childcare provided in the nursery. All welcome!

Theology on Tap: Final Week
