Emergent Friends of NW Arkansas

Sunday, March 19, 2006

Just a note... I would still love to hear a conversation started on the topics from my article below.

My recently extra busy life kept me from exploring the March issue of Next-Wave and realizing that my submission was accepted for the March issue!

Check it out at: http://www.the-next-wave-ezine.info/issue87/index.cfm?id=10&ref=ARTICLES%5FCULTURE%5F180

Hope to see some new faces at our conversation gathering on April 25th, 7pm, at the Pontiac Coffee House in Springdale

Peace,
Sandy

Exciting News!

It's official...Emergent Friends of NW Arkansas is a designated Cohort with Emergent Village.

What does this mean and why is it "exciting?"

For many of us the journey toward (and into) the realm of spirituality in our lives where we are becoming aligned with a missional lifestyle that God is calling us into...And away from set patterns that of "church" that perhaps has provided us comfort for years, is challenging and disquieting. Having a community (local and beyond) is a great comfort.

Remembering the words from Hebrews...We persevere with a passion...

The Race of Faith

Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Exciting to me....What about you?
