Our friends at the Oregon Center for Christian Values want to invite you to attend the upcoming membership meeting at *Warner Pacific College on Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting itself will be held in Kardatzke Hall below Schlatter Chapel, on the west side of campus near 68th Ave.

This will be a time of music, prayer, reflection, and fellowship. Stephanie Ahn will also be providing a brief introduction to biblical justice. You will also be able to hear about upcoming opportunities to serve together to promote God’s heart for the poor, sick, and all of creation. Their hope is that this will be a time of reconnecting and spiritual refreshment for all.

NEW WINE – HEARD IT ON THE GRAPE VINE NEWS

Gospel, Church and Culture Workshop
http://old.new-wineskins.org/events/2008/10/gospel-church-and-culture-workshop/
This Saturday OCT. 16 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM in Travis-Lovitt Hall
Suggested donation: $5.00 per individual Dr. Paul Louis Metzger and Dr. Brad Harper will be speaking about how the church is to minister in culture as the triune God’s kingdom community.
Metzger and Harper will address such questions as “What is the gospel?” “What should the church’s relation to culture be?” and “What difference does it make for the church in its ministry in the broader culture that it is the triune God’s kingdom community?” Tony Kriz will serve as the MC for the workshop. There will be ample time for Q&A during the proceedings. As Christ-followers committed to Christ’s church’s missional outreach, it is important that we exegete rightly the Bible as well as the culture into which we seek to communicate the gospel. Please join us, and help us wrestle with these important issues!
