NIDUS event?!

AUGUST 4-6 @ BINGEMANS KITCHENER

I came across this a few times now and in giving it a look, it looks pretty cool actually. If I was around I'd love to organize a camping weekend and checking it out... but alas, i'm gone to camp.

Nidus is a festival for people from all streams of Christian faith with music, arts, keynotes, worship, dialogue, drama and dance. Three days to express faith, celebrate the arts, and seek justice. The midus festival gathers people together to explore diversity and justice through music, arts, prayer and workshops.

Some great speakers i saw on the line up (Brian Mclarne (new kind of christian), and many more!) and a variety of musical styles. It really seems more than just a "kingdom bound" - it looks like it's got some quality going on....

QUARRY - Monday, May 15

This week come kick it at the Holloways for some dining, discussion, and... dancing? I needed another d-word... but likely there will be no dancing. but who knows...

We'll be hearing a presentation from Les regarding the Micah House... and we'll dive more into service and spiritual gifts. If we are longing to be a community that is active, so that 'no one is in need', we need to live and serve as a 'body with many parts' and use our spiritual gifts. A tag from our previous night on the Pentecost, let's spend time in small groups and sharing and learn more about what our community is made up of...

Location: Dave & Alicia Holloways

Monday, MAY 1st

Break in May with a night at Quarry!

Topic: Pentecost - what was the deal back then and today?! Flames?! Tongues?! The Holy Spirit?! We just celebrated Easter, but the important part now is the "what now?!" If we long to be an Acts 2 church (vs. 42- 47) and community, let's also explore the Pentecost (vs.1-41)

Location: Dave & Alicia Holloways - 623 Thornwood Avenue - 905.639.8842

Time: 6:30 dinner; 7:30 worship, prayer, teaching...

OUTREACH LEAD/INFO

Hey guys! This was a post/comment from Les that is worth a good read! Fire off the questions/comments/interests! And thanks Les! This is exciting!

I thought that last night was great. Really encouraging. Things are really starting to happen. There are serious rumblings.

I emailed this to the list, but here is the info so far on Micah House.You can visit http://www.micahhouse.ca/.
