If you missed Scott's story last week, read it here. Write your own Psalm 73 using this as a guide.
If you write anything during our Psalms series, we'd love to be able to put a book together to make the "TILT Psalter". Don't worry, we won't publish names or anything. We would love to have something as an expression of our prayers as a community.

Refresh 2008 is an exciting event co-sponsored by Toronto City Housing Corporation CHU 18 and Emmanuel Church of the Nazarene. Volunteers will work together with residents of the Sheppard-Yatescastle Community to paint the inside and landscape the outside of each unit. At the same time CHU 18 Maintenance workers will be on site to bring the maintenance of each unit up to date.
The purposed of the program is more than painting, landscaping and repairing the units of the Sheppard-Yatescastle residences.
It is about working together. It is about strengthening the community. It is about doing something to make the world a better place.
Come join the team of volunteers who will make Refresh Festival 2008 a success.
What: We would love to send a team from Spring Garden/TILT to join in this amazing project and to learn how we might be able to serve in the housing communities in our neighbourhood.
When: July 6-9, 2008
How: email tilt (dot) toronto (at) gmail (dot) com if you are interested!
Check out Sunday's video of Acts: the Continuing Story on TILTart.
Haven't checked out any videos lately?
Remember our series of the Kingdom of God? On the Incarnation? On Abraham's Covenant? Good times at Light of the World? Check out all of the videos on the website.
If you haven't been around the TILT website much, or even if you have, you may not have explored it in all of its profundity and depth (a small joke). One such area is 'the daily'. What is the daily?
Well...If you want to bike like Lance Armstrong, or score like Sydney Crosby, or paint like Vincent Van Gogh, or write like Margaret Atwood, you’d probably do a lot of training, and practice over and over, right? Yet, most of us who want to live like Jesus Christ of Nazareth do none of the things he practiced in his life, or any of the things any great leaders of “the Way” have practiced over the last 2000 years. In his letter to Timothy, Paul writes, “train yourself to be godly”. Enter “The Daily”. Continue reading here.
If you come to our times of gathering, you'll know that we spend a part of each evening together in silent meditation, often using ancient Christian practices. Our hope is that these will become of a part of your daily life, just like eating cereal for breakfast (or whatever else you might eat). So, check out the daily and let us know if you find yourself aware of God's presence in new and exciting (or old and normal) ways.

TILT seeks to serve our city by fostering a growing, authentic, diverse community that will holistically encounter the mystery and healing of God together through worship and mission.
TILT is part of the wider Spring Garden Church community and we met here.
