Mars Hill Living Life Intentionally On Hill

Via Slog, we learn that Joel Fariss, Mars Hill Church Downtown's  Deacon, has decided to establish domicile on Capitol Hill.     God himself has led Mr. Fariss and his wife to Capitol Hill.  Mr. Fariss has been busy discovering Bauhaus cross dressers, dirty Thai restaurants, and even learning the first names of *two* bartenders at his local pub.  If you would like to hear more about his godly mission, he will be holding court at Grey Gallery every Monday at 5:30 pm.

But wait, there's more...
Members of the truly scarily wacky Westboro Baptist Church ( http://GodHatesFags.com ) will be visiting our area on the weekend of June 13th to 15th. They'll be demonstrating outside assorted Jewish venues, churches (including Mt. Zion on Madison) and Garfield High School. Lots of info at:

The Garfield High School Straight-Gay Alliance has a very effective and powerful plan

"Garfield's counter protest must be peaceful, and separate. The goal of this organization is to rile people up and provoke response. They bring their own cameras and tape everything that happens, using it as ammunition at later events. They hope that you will act inappropriately, so they can make fools of us.

INSTEAD, we will rally on the front steps of the school (they're not allowed on school property), in an effort to show the school, our community, and the world what Garfield believes in. Come to school early, ready to cheer, sing, and be non-reactive."

Intentionally what?
Well, I felt like God led me to our fine neighborhood too; good to see the Divine still has good taste. Then again, I think I have completely different reasons for shouting Hallelujah about the Hill than Mr. Fariss does, though...I feel like I converted to Capitol Hill, and I think Mr. Fariss is trying to do the opposite.

Dirty?
Our Thai restaurants are quite clean and moral, thank you very much.
