What if they were blessed for what they are doing in the world instead of chastened for not doing more at church? What if church felt more like a way station than a destination? What if the church’s job were to move people out the door instead of trying to keep them in, by convincing them that God needed them more in the world than in the church?” -Barbara Brown Taylor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/5bb8abb4-edb0-4089-affa-558e3ceaac19/IMG_2099.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/5160e792-82c0-4ed6-9410-ef4c00fa10e3/IMG_1802.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/ddf0d0fe-32db-475c-aa1f-45bb7cea1cc0/IMG_2093.jpeg Home https://www.theplaygroundsebastopol.org/a-new-vision-of-doing-church daily 0.75 2024-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/1583536878971-AQRWS7T4RH4AWSCHD7D6/IMG_0871.jpeg A new vision of "doing" church - Journey. Together. The Playground challenges the assumption that we must all believe or practice similarly in order to be church together. We strive to form diverse community- we need not be on the same journey to journey deeper together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/1583534640886-BW7DAMBVII05PHFQRIOQ/IMG_5600.jpeg A new vision of "doing" church - “Move to the edges, if you dare, toward those rising sons and daughters who have long abandoned our houses of worship. Run toward the ones whom the Spirit has captivated in these latest of days—the young artists, and activists, with voices fresh and unorthodox, ready to prophecy. Do not do this selfishly, with the hopes that they will bail out a tired, old church. It is not about us. It is about them. Moreover, it is about transcending all notions of ‘us and them.’ … it is about showing up to dance with God and all the folks God is bringing to her party.” -Beth Ann Estock and Paul Nixon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/1583536486020-Q2A1K2JWNBOHVC2ROPPA/IMG_2685.jpeg A new vision of "doing" church - At its heart, church… Gathers At picnic table + playground Transforms Through deep conversation + connections Sends Us back out into the world- nourished by food, drink, connection, play, and rest- to make it into a better place for us all. https://www.theplaygroundsebastopol.org/fundraiser daily 0.75 2023-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/ebfe9af8-fd1d-4583-ab30-f23f0f06b1a0/IMG_0412.jpeg https://www.theplaygroundsebastopol.org/home-ii daily 0.75 2024-05-30 https://www.theplaygroundsebastopol.org/hours daily 0.75 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/8d0cbccb-c92d-4b7d-8584-d49f3dd82a8d/Playground_Color+Study_v1_on+location+2.jpg https://www.theplaygroundsebastopol.org/menu daily 0.75 2025-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/f3ceb77c-46f7-4528-b2d7-72e9d40fc4f1/beverages+menu+8.5x11+9-25-25.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/4cfc602a-1058-4e5d-823a-e7e240c36225/coffee+Menu+%2811+x+17+in%29+9-9-25.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/650bc7a9-032b-415d-9a39-11cd5f845a7a/kids%27+%2B+bakery+menu+8.5x11+9-9-25.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5f34a167751560bd4ac249/08a57468-67c7-4165-be09-890a516af617/Food+Menu+%2811+x+17+in%29+9-9-25.jpg
