WEEKLY UPDATE | MARCH 2 2010
Dear Church,
Our Calling All Artists piece for this last Sunday was pretty amazing. It's called Double-Edged Sword, by one of our own members, and you can see the video here.
Here is some news from our community.

Lent | the cities of God
|
This week, we look at the letter to the church in Thyatira---a church that has tolerated 'that woman Jezebel', who misleads people into immorality.
What do we 'tolerate'? The good news is that, those who overcome are given authority over the nations---the same authority Jesus himself was given by the Father. Let us become people who overcome!
Teaching text: Revelation 2:18-29
UWS, Emily Dickinson School P.S. 75, SW corner of West End and 96th, 10.30am. Full kids' program.
East Side, Zion St Mark's Church, 84th between 1st and 2nd, 5pm. Full kids' program.
Brooklyn, Park Slope Christian Tabernacle, 98 5th Ave at Baltic, 5pm. Full kids' program.

Passover Seder Dinners | various locations, save the date(s)
|
We have an annual tradition of celebrating the Passover together as a community. This traditional Jewish meal offers incredible insight into Jesus' life, and shows how God was preparing the Jewish people for a Messiah since the Exodus.
This is a great event to come to if you are new to our community, and a great event for friends and coworkers.
This year we will have several dinners in different neighborhoods. More details to come, but save the date(s):
| Brooklyn, Mon March 29, Park Slope Christian Tabernacle - RSVP to Kristen
Upper East, Wed March 24, Zion St Mark's - potluck + $5 - RSVP to Grace
Long Island City, Wed March 24
Chelsea/Downtown, Mon March 22, St Paul's
