The Church and Affordable Housing Conference – October 17 & 18, 2008
Saturday, September 20th, 2008Hey everyone, more and more details are shaping up for the open house this October. We are slowly working toward a new space to meet, and Project 51 is coming on strong. We look forward to hanging out this Sunday at the usual location @ 6pm for potluck and a discussion around P51.
In light of P51 I wanted to make known to you a conference that is coming up this October. It’s called The Church and Affordable Housing Conference and it’s running October 17 & 18, 2008 put on by the Shalom Seekers. I went a couple years ago and it was awesome. I highly recommended it if you can make it out.
The costs are as follows:
$60 Regular (September 1- October 10)
$70 Late/Onsite(October 10- October 18)
$25 Student and Senior (aged 60+)
In fact, because I am not sure if I can go and I would really like a representative from the open house at the conference the church is willing to support 2 people to go together from the open house to be our advocates. This to me is P51 at work. So let me know if you want to go and I will get you set up.
September 7th gathering
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Hey toh’rs,
I wanted to let you know that we are going to be gathering this Sunday September 7th @ 10:30am at our house. We are going to have a potluck brunch, and then a discussion concerning our purpose as a church and invite you to help us make some decisions on a few items. We hope to be done by noon.
Then next week (September 14th), we are going to be meeting at 6pm at our house. And there is a good chance we will be meeting at the same time on the 21st. The 27th-28th is the retreat. The different times are for us to get a feel for mornings versus evenings.
I understand that some of you are going away and others had made plans, so I am sorry for deciding on a time for our gathering so late. But hopefully most of you can still make it.
Thanks for your commitment to the future of the open house and for what God has in store for this church.
