Scripture and Culture Seminar Info

orgsWe’re excited about the upcoming Scripture and Culture Seminar with Darrell Guder and Andy Crouch at The Well in Suburban Philadelphia. This event is put on by both The Well and The Renew Community.  It should be a great event. If you are coming, directions can be found here. We’ll also be trying to do a video cast as well so check the Ecclesia Twitter stream for more info.

But, we’re more excited about all the proceeds from the event going to two organizations that are working hard to care for the poor. One Days Wages and HELP (Help End Local Poverty).

You can find more information about these organizations on their websites.

Oh, and if you are attending, register here.

Baltimore Area Ecclesia Gathering – Feb. 19, 2009

This is a gathering before the National gathering. The goal is relationship building so that the National Gathering is of even greater value.

Wether you are going to the national conference or not, if you live in the Baltimore area, we would like to invite you to a localized gathering at Cornerstone Community Church of Columbia Maryland on February 19th from 10 am – noon.

The format will be simple. Over coffee we will share what has been going on in our lives, share some cool stuff you have seen and perhaps share a few scars as well. Also the hope is that ways we can work together as churches will emerge as well. Anyone who wants to go out to lunch afterwards is invited.

For more information, contact Bruce Hopler (pastor at cornerstone-d6.org)
