Summertime, when the living's easy...

Peace forum.
A few weeks ago we spent some time praying for/about/into the World Peace Forum, which is happening in Vancouver on June 23-28. If anyone is interested in attending part of this event or finding out more information,
check out their website. If anyone has any ideas on how we could get involved or would like to be a Convergence delegate, contact me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canada day.
If you're interested in making/handing out popcorn, cotton candy, sno-cones, clowning around, making balloon animals, or painting faces at Broadway's Canada Day fun-tivities on July 2, contact me to sign up ASAP. This volunteering opportunity is guaranteed fun!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camps & conferences.

Don't forget to think about helping out with one of the camps (kids or youth) or registering for one of the three conferences happening this summer (ACTx, Leadership Summit, or Regen). Contact me for more information on any of these...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer reading.
For those of you who ordered Rich Christian through me: they're on their way! If you are still interested in participating in this discussion group, feel free to join us Thursday nights at 7pm before the services (i.e. June 29). We'd love to have you!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heads up.
Just a reminder that beginning in July we will be meeting at Trout Lake park at 7pm for Convergences [weather permitting]. Having the acoustic worship and teaching outside is a great way to enjoy the summer, not to mention the abundance of popsicles, Frisbees, and footballs! More details and directions will be available next week...

Re: this generation

It’s called Regen. It comes from the word regenesis:: new beginnings.

[note: if this was a make-over of the conference formerly known as The Merge, you would find it on the extreme edition]

When: August 18-20
Where: Kelowna [pictures available here]
Who: 18-30ish movement
What: restoring young adults to the church, the Father, & community with one another.

WARNING: This is all part of the emerging church. The reforming church: continually trying to determine what church will, can, and should look like in our generation.

This is not about a new experience.

This is about a new expression; expressions of God, the church, and spiritual community.
This is not a charismatic revival.

This is a pilgrimage.
This is an opportunity. Leaders saying, “It’s OK. You’re not alone. We see it too, and we want to create places for you to prosper spiritually and relationally.” Not just exist. To prosper. Flourish. Grow.
This is a regeneration of a spiritual generation, blessing them, encouraging them, and releasing them.

An online registration will be available soon…

You should be a part of this.
