WEEKLY UPDATE | JUNE 22 2010

Dear Church,

Take a few moments right now and stop what you're doing. Take these words and let them guide you into the presence of God before you resume your busyness:

Dear Lord as I come to you today
Fill my heart and my whole being
with the wonder of your presence

From Sacred Space. Here is some news from our community.

East Village MC Retreat | this weekend! June 25-27, all welcome

RSVP and pay online

Our very first retreat as a missional community is June 25-27. It's a great chance to meet new people and take a break from the city.

We'll be at Kirkwood Camp in Stroudsburg, PA. Two separate Friday departure times are planned, one at 2pm and the other at 6:30pm.

$75 per person includes meals, transportation and lodging.

Looking forward to a great weekend together!


Sunday: All Things New | new confidence
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith.

This is such a good passage, and this is only part of it. Spend some time reading these 6 verses before Sunday.
