Around Our Network / September 17, 2014


What’s been happening among us? September 17, 2014


A few things happening in our community over the past week. Interested in anything you see here? Come join us for a public meeting or check out a cell, groups of ten that meet throughout the week.

Rod taught us about forgiveness and containment at the monthly training.
It was the best-attended training of the year. Our people take the main job of the Christian, learning to forgive, seriously. 

The Teen Mission Team made a deal with Molly McCormick.
She is a staff person that the team has been raising money to hire for quite some time. They are excited!

Vanessa and the Church Planting Core Team led us in an Imaginarium considering our mission to children.
Our Leadership Team also met as a whole for a time of mutual encouragement and reporting, as well as the Coordinators, and Capacity, Compassion, and Church Planting Core Teams.

The Marlton & Crescent Rental Team lined up their first full time renter!
An immigration attorney is ready to move into one of the vacant offices and is down with our Jesus centered mission. Keep praying for more connections (artist studio spaces are available!).

The pastors’ answered the question “Aren’t all disciplines spiritual disciplines?” in our weekly videocast. Link here. Can you help share it?

Our blogs were great places for thinking and encouragement
How can we follow Jesus at work? Rod answers. Joshua gave us Four Things for Christians to Never Forget on September 11 on his re-booted blog. Jonny got us thinking about the Development without Displacement team and Adrian Peterson and being transformed.

We hosted a benefit concert for Franny Lou’s Porch

As Blew gathers support for a new direct trade, organic coffee house five blocks from our FN site, we were there to celebrate and help the effort along. She raised over $500 at the door alone!
