Halloween Cookout & Week 02: "Wholeness"




This Friday (Halloween), we are having a cookout in the front yard of Jason and Angie Kimbrell (107 Montreal. Click here for a map). We will start grilling at around sunset (approximately 6pm). Come hang out and greet trick-or-treater families and help us get to know the neighbors. Everyone is welcome.





This past Sunday at the Gathering, we continued in our series on "What We Believe" with the second of our core values: Wholeness: We believe that Jesus wants to save every part of us and to restore us from the inside out. We will always seek to be put back together in a holistic way.

If you want to read more on this value or to understand why we have listed this as one of our non-negotiable top six, here are some books to check out:




1) The Ragamuffin Gospel
(Brennan Manning)













(Brennan Manning)














3)  The Emotionally Healthy Church
(Peter Scazzero)














4) Let Your Life Speak
(Parker Palmer)











5) The Inner Voice of Love
(Henri Nouwen)









This weekend, the core value that we will be discussing is Community.

Don't forget that our weekly gathering happens at 5:30pm at the home of Jason and Angie Kimbrell. See you there!
