The Nooma for September 18 was "Rhythm."
What does it mean to have a relationship with God? What does it look like? For a lot of us it's a hard thing to understand. If God is an infinite spirit with no shape or form, how can we possibly relate to that? And what about Jesus? He said he came to give everyone life in its fullest. He came to show us how to live. Maybe it's through trusting Jesus and living the kind of life he taught us to live--a life of truth, love, justice, compassion, forgiveness, and sacrifice--that we have a relationship with God. Maybe the way we live every day, every single choice we make, determines how in tune with God we are.

Evangelion: Spoken Word
Our performance art for September 18th REFRESH was Steve Gibboney reading two poems, In Between by Robert Cording, and Evangelion by Steve. Here is the full text of Evangelion.
EVANGELION
By Steve Gibboney
In the Beginning
was the word,
working, sustaining
building, creating
all things.
Through Him,
By Him, and
to Him,
all things are.
without Him,
nothing that is
would be.
The only Begotten
Son of God,
begotten not made,
Very God of Very God,
He became flesh,
He did not put flesh on,
like a garment, but became
flesh as he is spirit,
became man as he is God.
He made his dwelling
among us,
but the darkness had not understood, and
his own, did not receive.
Those of us
that did believe-
those branches,
natural and grafted-
He dwells
among us still,
Full of Grace and Truth,
the true Light
shining in the darkness
of our sin and the shameful
secrets of our slowly crucified hearts,
He dwells with us bringing sorrow
unto repentance,
and the Joy of life abundantly,
from the fullness of his grace.

Worship and be refreshed!
The goal of Saturday night is worship -- to glorify God through our worship, and through our worship -- to be refreshed.
All the art, music and setting is focused on one goal -- to enjoy God's presence and lift His name high.
As we worship we are ourselves refreshed through His Spirit, and can praise Him together for the creative God that He is! Our creativity through poetry, photography, art, music and dance all point to and reflect His creative Spirit working in us. Praise His Name for all that he gives us, surrounds us with, and inspires us to create!
Come worship, and be REFRESHED!
