Church outdoors, with meat
Mon, May 3rd
The Painted Door took a Sunday off from gathering for service on May 2 and instead met in Gospel Communities throughout the city. We had great turnout at all three of our gatherings as people connected with others in their neighborhood.
The West Town community (pictured below) invaded my roof deck and got bathed in sunshine. We grilled up three kinds of marinated steak and slapped it onto tortillas with cheesy eggs and fresh salsa for a tasty Mexican brunch.
The University Village community grubbed on pizza in a local park and played some Frisbee and football. And the Logan Square community fired up the grill for BBQ at Scott Baermann’s place. Thanks to everyone for participating in this expression of church. We’re hopeful that this event will help kick start ongoing communal living for all the people of The Painted Door.
Let’s keep grilling for Jesus.
