Cultivating authentic, vulnerable, and diverse spaces for connection and transformation.


BOOK GROUP: Living in the Way of Jesus

Wednesdays @ 6 pm start with food, April 3 - May 15

In this small group we will read Dallas Willard’s book The Great Omission: Reclaiming Jesus’ Essential Teachings on Discipleship. This book will help us become better apprentices of Jesus (disciples), and explore the power of spiritual practices to help us do what is impossible on our own: become more like Jesus. Participants will finish by creating their own Rule of Life with practices such as solitude, service, frugality, etc. that will help you take your next steps in the way of Jesus.

Led by Ken Jennings and Nick Burdette. Contact nburdette@gmail.com to sign up or learn more.

MONTHLY MOVIE CLUB

NEXT MOVIE: April 25th we'll plan to see the movie Civil War (trailer can be found here). We won't know the specifics of when & where until this weekend, but we plan to aim for a showing between 6 & 8 pm at one of the theaters near the East End (e.g., Waterworks, Row House, Waterfront, Manor, etc.).

This group aims to see a movie each month with time together after the viewing to discuss, with a specific focus on the theological elements of the film. We won't know the specifics of when & where until the week before, but we plan to aim for a showing between 6 & 8 pm at one of the theaters near the East End (e.g., Waterworks, Row House, Waterfront, Manor, etc.). Times, movie selection, and rating are subject to change based on what's available.

We probably haven't seen the movie yet, so please don't take this invitation as an Open Door endorsement of the film. We'll leave it up to parents to determine whether the movie is appropriate to bring children to.
